What does TOCKY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
dialect
Covered with soft, wet earth; muddy underfoot.
Tocky is a countryside dialect word, the kind a farmer might use to describe a lane, field or pair of boots after heavy rain rather than a term found in formal writing. It shares a certain sound with tacky, and both words carry the idea of something wet that clings and sticks as you walk through it. The word survives mainly in regional speech and older word lists rather than in standard written English.
How TOCKY is used
Dialect and rare; used regionally for muddy ground or muddy footwear rather than in general written English.
