REAMY is valid in Collins, not in North America — 10 points

What does REAMY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Scotsdialect
Creamy or frothy in appearance or texture, especially of milk or a poured drink.
Reamy is a Scots dialect word built on ream, the old Scots name for cream or froth, so calling milk or ale reamy points to the rich film or foam sitting on its surface. The word turns up mainly in older Scottish writing and in descriptions of fresh milk straight from the cow, where a good reamy layer signalled quality. It survives today chiefly in dialect glossaries rather than in ordinary conversation.
