What does WEEDY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Overgrown with weeds; also, of a person, thin, weak or lacking physical strength.
Weedy most literally describes a garden, field or pond choked with unwanted plants that crowd out anything more desirable. From that image of weak, straggly growth, British speakers extended weedy to people, using it to describe someone thin, physically feeble or lacking in strength or confidence. A weedy garden simply needs tending, while a weedy person is often described that way with mild mockery rather than real cruelty. Both senses share the underlying idea of something scrawny or under-developed compared with what is expected.
How WEEDY is used
