What does STODGY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Heavy and starchy, or dull and old-fashioned.
Stodgy first belonged to food, meaning thick, heavy and filling, as a suet pudding or a lump of porridge can be. The sense then moved to people and writing that are slow, stiff and unimaginative, which is why a newspaper or a committee can be stodgy as well as a dinner. The word is mildly critical and a little humorous.
