What does WUSSY mean in Scrabble?
noun
informalslang
An informal and mildly disparaging term for a person regarded as weak, timid or lacking courage.
Wussy blends the sound of wimp and a cruder slang word, and it is used casually to mock someone for being overly cautious, oversensitive or afraid to act. Speakers use it among friends more often as light teasing than as a serious accusation, and the same word can also work as an adjective describing weak or hesitant behaviour, as in a wussy excuse. Because it can sting, wussy is largely limited to casual speech and avoided in formal or polite writing.
