What does TYPEY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
technical
Strongly showing the typical features expected of a particular breed, especially in a dog or horse.
Judges and breeders use typey to praise an animal whose head, build, coat and movement match the ideal described in the breed standard, so a typey collie looks unmistakably like a collie rather than a vaguely similar dog. The word is a compact way of saying that an animal has strong, correct breed type, without listing every individual feature that contributes to that impression. A typey animal is not necessarily the fastest or the friendliest, since typey refers purely to appearance and conformation rather than temperament or performance. The term is common at dog shows and horse shows, where competitors are ranked partly on how typey they appear next to the written standard.
