What does SLUMMY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
informal
Run-down, crowded and poor in the way of a slum, or typical of such an area.
Writers apply slummy to streets, flats and neighbourhoods that look neglected and overcrowded, with peeling paint and poor repair. The word is a looser, more everyday form of the noun slum, and it usually carries a judgement as well as a description. Because it can sound dismissive about the people who live there, careful writers often choose a more neutral phrase.
