What does WASPY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
informal
Quick to become irritated or sharp-tempered, like a wasp; also used to describe a very narrow, wasp-like waist.
Waspy borrows its meaning from the wasp's reputation for stinging with little warning, so a waspy remark or a waspy mood suggests a short temper and a readiness to snap at small provocations. The same comparison to a wasp's narrow middle gives rise to a second sense, in which a waspy waist describes a fashionably slim, tightly cinched figure, as seen in some historical dress styles built around a narrow corseted waist. Which meaning applies usually becomes clear from context, since one describes temperament and the other describes shape. Both senses stay close to the image of the wasp itself, whether its sting or its slender body.
