What does SAPPY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
informal
Excessively sentimental or emotional in a way that seems exaggerated or insincere.
A sappy film or song leans so heavily on emotion that it can feel forced or embarrassing rather than genuinely moving. People often use sappy to criticise greeting cards, romantic dialogue or sentimental music that lays feeling on too thickly. The word originally described a plant full of sap, and the sense shifted to describe people or works that seem soft and overflowing with feeling. Someone can also be called sappy directly if they cry easily or gush over small things.
