What does TIDDLY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
informalBritish
Slightly drunk, or very small.
Tiddly is a cheerful British word with two unrelated lives. One means a little tipsy after a glass or two, the other means tiny, as in a tiddly bit of cake. Both senses sound affectionate, which is why they suit children and grandparents as easily as pub talk. Tiddlywinks, the game of flipping small discs into a cup, probably shares the playful sound of the second sense.
