What does SURFY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
informal
An informal adjective describing something associated with surfing, ocean waves, or beach and surf culture.
A surfy town, a surfy look, or a surfy song all suggest the relaxed style, clothing, and slang associated with people who spend their time riding ocean waves on a board. The word is used loosely to describe an atmosphere or appearance rather than a strict quality of the sea itself, so a shop selling boardshorts and sandals can be called surfy even far from the coast. It grew out of the informal noun surf and the surfing subculture that spread from beach communities through music, fashion, and film from the mid twentieth century onward. Because it remains a casual coinage, surfy appears mainly in relaxed speech and lifestyle writing rather than formal description.
