What does TOWNY mean in Scrabble?
noun
informalBritish
A person who lives in a town, especially as distinguished from someone from the countryside, or a person from one's own home town.
Towny is informal British usage that sets a town-dweller apart from a country person, much as townie does in other varieties of English, and it can carry a mildly teasing tone when used by people from rural areas. The word can also describe a fellow resident of one's own home town, so two people meeting far from home might greet each other as towny in a friendly, familiar way. Because the word is informal, it appears mostly in casual speech and regional writing rather than in formal English. Spelling varies between towny and townie, with both forms found in British dialect dictionaries.
