What does PEERIE mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Scots
A Scots and Orkney dialect word meaning small or tiny.
Peerie turns up throughout Scottish and especially Orkney speech wherever a speaker wants to mark something as little rather than merely say small. The same word also names a traditional wooden spinning top that children set spinning with a length of string, a toy once common in Scottish playgrounds. Because peerie carries its own separate noun sense as well as the adjective one, it is treated as a word in its own right rather than as a mere respelling of small.
