What does TOWNIE mean in Scrabble?
noun
informalBritish
A person who lives in a town, especially one who is not a student in a university town or who knows little of country life.
In university towns the word separates local residents from the students, and it is not always friendly. Country people may also use it for someone from the town who seems out of place in the countryside. The spelling townee is a variant that means the same thing, and townie itself is a casual shortening of townsman or townsperson.
