What does WASHY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
informal
Thin, watery or weak, especially of a liquid, color or style that lacks strength or richness.
Washy describes anything that has been diluted or thinned until it loses body, whether that is a cup of tea, a pale color, or a piece of writing that feels weak and diluted in meaning. The word extends the sense of wash, as if the substance had been rinsed of its strength. It is often paired with foods and drinks that taste weak, but it also applies figuratively to arguments, prose or paintings that lack conviction or intensity. Speakers usually use washy with a note of mild complaint, contrasting it with something rich, strong or well made.
