Happy, dopey, sneezy, sleepy, grumpy and bashful: Abbr.

Answer:

ADJS

Hint:

Think of the words that describe the seven characters' personalities in a classic fairy tale.

Explanation:

The clue lists the names of the seven dwarfs from "Snow White," but only six are mentioned. The missing dwarf is "Doc," which hints at the word "adjectives" since the names describe traits. The abbreviation for adjectives is "ADJS," making it the answer. It’s a playful way to connect the dwarfs' names to a grammatical term.
