What does PINNY mean in Scrabble?
noun
informalBritish
An informal, mainly British word for a pinafore, a sleeveless apron-like garment worn over clothes.
A pinny is worn to protect ordinary clothes from mess, whether in a kitchen, a classroom or a garden, and it ties or fastens at the back over whatever the wearer already has on. The word is a shortened, affectionate form of pinafore, and it carries a slightly informal, homely tone that pinafore itself lacks. Pinny is also the word British schoolchildren use for the numbered sleeveless top handed out for sports teams, a sense that has little to do with cooking at all. Both uses share the same basic idea of a simple layer worn over other clothes for a practical reason.
