turfy
Covered in sod
Turfy describes something resembling or covered with turf—grass and the soil beneath it.
A turfy smell evokes freshly cut lawns or earthy ground.
In British usage, turfy can relate to horse racing, which traditionally takes place on turf tracks: turfy gossip about the Derby.
The word is uncommon outside these contexts.
