What does SPOONY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
archaicinformal
Foolishly or sentimentally in love; silly with affection.
Spoony grew out of the older slang noun for a simpleton, and it settled on one particular kind of foolishness: the moony, gushing behaviour of someone smitten. Victorian and Edwardian novels use it with a teasing tone, never as high praise. It can also stand as a noun for such a person, though that use is rarer today.
