What does PEERY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Scotsdialect
Wary and watchful, inclined to look at someone or something with suspicion or curiosity, used chiefly in Scots dialect.
A peery glance suggests someone is sizing another person up rather than looking at them openly, the kind of sideways, careful look given to a stranger or to something unfamiliar. Older Scots writing and dialect glossaries preserve the word for a person or an animal described as peery, watching from a distance before deciding whether to come closer. The word survives today mainly in dialect dictionaries and regional writing rather than in everyday conversation.
