Dotty Meaning in English
word
释义
'Dotty' can mean slightly crazy or eccentric in a harmless way, or something covered with dots or spots.
用法与细微差别
Informal, often affectionate when referring to eccentric people, especially older ones. Not offensive, but outdated in American English. Used for both people and patterns ('dotty dress'). Distinct from 'crazy' (more negative) and 'spotty' (means uneven or acne-prone, not patterned).
