What does TASTY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Having a pleasant, appealing flavour; also used informally to describe something generally attractive or appealing.
A tasty meal delivers a strong, satisfying flavour rather than being merely edible, and cooks treat tasty as one of the most basic compliments they can give food. British and Australian informal speech extends tasty well beyond the kitchen, so a tasty deal, a tasty opportunity or even a tasty-looking car can all mean simply appealing rather than good to eat. In football commentary a tasty match sometimes describes a game expected to be closely and fiercely contested, a specialised sporting sense of the word. Despite these extensions, the core sense of good-tasting food remains by far the most common use of tasty in everyday conversation.
