What does WAVEY mean in Scrabble?
noun
North Americanregional
A chiefly Canadian regional name for a wild goose, especially the snow goose.
Wavey is a regional term used mainly around Hudson Bay and in other parts of northern Canada for a wild goose, most often the snow goose that migrates through the area in large flocks. The word entered local English from an Indigenous language of the region and stayed in use among hunters and residents long after the plain word goose became universal elsewhere. Wavey is distinct from the everyday adjective wavy, which describes something with waves or curves, even though the two are pronounced alike. Hunters and naturalists in the north still use wavey when talking about the seasonal goose hunt.
