TOSHY is valid in Collins, not in North America — 11 points
It depends on the list you play by. TOSHY is in Collins, used in the UK and most of the world, but it is not in the North American lists — so in a US or Canadian game an opponent can challenge it off the board. Worth 11 points. Words with Friends does not accept it either.

What does TOSHY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
dialectrare
Neat and tidy in appearance, in older regional English usage.
A toshy room or a toshy garden is one kept trim and in good order, with nothing left out of place. The word survives only in scattered regional and older dictionaries and has been overtaken almost entirely by neat and tidy in ordinary speech. A separate, unrelated old sense describes talk that is full of nonsense, but the tidy sense is the one that still turns up in word lists.
