What does VODDY mean in Scrabble?
noun
informalBritish
An informal British word for vodka, used mainly in casual pub or party conversation.
Voddy shortens the name of the spirit the way many drink words get clipped in casual talk, much like a pint becomes a jar. Voddy carries no particular brand or style, and someone might order a voddy and lemonade just as easily as a straight one. The word signals an informal setting rather than any change in what is actually being poured.
