What does SLOPPY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Done without proper care or neatness, or too wet and runny to hold its shape.
The word covers two ideas that meet in the notion of looseness: careless work that is full of mistakes, and food or ground that holds too much water. A sloppy sweater hangs baggily, and a sloppy kiss or letter is sentimental to excess. Teachers use it about untidy handwriting, cooks about a sauce that has not set, and walkers about a track churned into mud.
