What does RIGHTY mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
A person who uses the right hand more naturally than the left, or, in political talk, a person on the conservative right.
In sport the word is paired with lefty: a righty at the plate stands on the opposite side from a lefty, and coaches plan around that. In political talk the same word is a casual label for someone with right-wing views, and it can be used either neutrally or as a mild jibe. Context decides which of the two senses is meant.
