What does ROPEY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
informalBritish
Of poor or doubtful quality; unreliable or not entirely well; also, literally, resembling rope in appearance or texture, especially a liquid that has turned thick and stringy.
Ropey is an informal British word covering two related ideas: something of noticeably poor or shaky quality, as in a ropey excuse or a ropey internet connection, and, closer to the literal meaning, a liquid or substance that has become thick and stringy like rope, as when wine or bread dough spoils. People also use ropey to describe feeling slightly unwell, as in feeling a bit ropey after a late night. The variant spelling ropy means exactly the same thing and is used interchangeably with it. Across all these senses, ropey carries a mild, understated tone rather than describing something seriously wrong.
