What does STONY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Covered with, full of, or resembling stones; also cold and unfeeling in manner.
A stony field or path is rough and difficult to cross because it is scattered with stones or rock, and a stony beach makes for uncomfortable walking barefoot. The word extends easily to people and reactions: a stony face or a stony silence shows no warmth or sympathy at all. Both senses share the same idea of hardness, whether in the ground underfoot or in someone's expression.
