What does STAGY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
informal
Exaggerated, artificial or overly theatrical in manner, as if performed for a stage rather than done naturally.
A stagy performance or gesture looks calculated for dramatic effect, with movements, expressions or speech pitched louder and larger than real life would call for. The word is often mildly critical, suggesting insincerity or overacting, whether applied to an actor, a public speaker, or someone's exaggerated reaction in ordinary conversation. It is also spelled stagey, both forms being equally accepted.
