What does TONEY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
informal
Fashionable and stylish in a way that suggests wealth or high social standing; a variant spelling of tony.
A toney restaurant or a toney address signals to a listener that the place carries an air of expense and exclusivity, often more about appearance and reputation than genuine luxury. Writers use toney and its more common spelling tony almost interchangeably, since both forms describe the same fashionable, upper-class impression. The word carries a slightly ironic or knowing edge in casual speech, as though the speaker is gently mocking the pretension of whatever is being called toney. Because the term stays informal, it turns up far more in magazine writing, conversation and reviews than in formal or academic prose.
