What does WORMY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Full of or infested with worms; also, of wood, marked with holes made by boring worms.
Fruit, meat or timber described as wormy has been damaged or eaten into by worms, and the word signals that the material is spoiled, weakened or unfit for its intended use. Woodworkers use wormy in a more neutral, even positive way for timber that shows old worm holes as a decorative feature, since wormy boards can be prized for their rustic look. Outside these practical uses, wormy can also describe a person as weak or contemptible, though that sense is less common today.
How WORMY is used
Used literally of worm-damaged food, timber and plants, and occasionally figuratively of a weak or contemptible person.
