What does SOPPY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Britishinformal
Excessively sentimental or emotional; also, thoroughly soaked with liquid.
Soppy most commonly describes films, songs or greeting cards that lay on emotion so thickly that they strike some listeners as embarrassing or overdone. British speakers use soppy lightly, often as gentle teasing rather than harsh criticism, as when someone calls a friend soppy for crying at a wedding. The word's older and more literal sense describes something drenched or sodden with water, from which the sentimental meaning likely grew by comparison. Both senses remain in use, though the emotional meaning is heard far more often today.
