What does TUMMY mean in Scrabble?
noun
informalchildish
A childish or informal word for the stomach or abdomen.
Parents reach for tummy when talking with small children, since it sounds softer and friendlier than a more clinical alternative for naming the same part of the body. Adults keep the habit going well past early life, using tummy casually among themselves whenever they want a light, unofficial way to mention digestion, nerves, or a big meal. Picture books, lullabies, and playground talk all favour tummy over the grown-up medical term, which is part of why the word feels tied to nursery life. Even so, nothing stops a grown adult from saying their tummy hurts without sounding out of place in ordinary conversation.
How TUMMY is used
Childish and informal; common in speech with or about children, and in relaxed adult conversation.
