What does PORKY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
informal
Fat or plump, or resembling pork in taste, smell or appearance.
Porky describes a person or animal that looks heavy or well fed, often used gently rather than as an insult. The word can also describe food or meat that tastes or smells strongly of pork, distinguishing it from leaner cuts. Because it comes directly from the noun pork, the adjective keeps a close link to pigs and their meat in a person's mind. In casual speech people use porky about a rounded face or a chubby build without necessarily meaning offence.
