What does TUSHY mean in Scrabble?
noun
informalchildish
The buttocks, used especially in informal or child-directed speech.
Tushy is a soft, mild word for the buttocks, most often used by or to small children, or in a joking, gentle way among adults. It softens a body part that plainer words state more bluntly, which is why parents, comedians and advertisers reach for it. The word likely grew out of tush, an earlier and shorter informal term for the same part of the body. Because it sounds playful rather than clinical, tushy rarely appears in formal writing.
How TUSHY is used
Informal and often childish in tone; common in everyday American speech and parenting talk, rare in formal contexts.
- The toddler slipped on the ice and landed on her tushy.
