What does SWEENY mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
Wasting of the shoulder muscles of a horse.
Sweeny is a stable term, used when the limb of a horse looks thin on one side because the flesh over the shoulder has shrunk. It is mostly met in older writing on horse care, where a nineteenth-century manual would list sweeny among the common ailments. Outside the stable the word is almost unknown, and it should not be confused with a surname spelled in a similar way.
