What does ROWDY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Noisy, disorderly and inclined to rough behaviour.
A rowdy crowd is loud, boisterous and often on the edge of causing trouble, whether at a sports match, a party or in the street. The word can describe people directly or the atmosphere they create, as in a rowdy meeting or a rowdy pub. It usually implies a degree of disorder that annoys or worries onlookers, though it stops short of describing genuine violence. Rowdy is also used as a noun for a person who behaves this way.
