What does PORNY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
informal
Having a pornographic quality; sexually explicit in a blunt or exploitative way.
Porny is an informal, slightly dismissive way of describing something that verges on pornography without necessarily being outright pornography itself. Speakers reach for porny when a film, photograph, advertisement, or scene feels gratuitously sexual rather than merely suggestive. The word is built from porn plus the common adjective suffix -y, the same pattern seen in words like classy or trashy. Because it is casual and a little judgmental, porny turns up far more often in conversation and reviews than in formal writing.
