What does NOBODY mean in Scrabble?
pronoun
Not a single person, or a person of no importance.
As a pronoun, nobody takes a singular verb and works like no one: nobody was there, nobody knows. As a noun it points at someone without rank or reputation, often in the sneering phrase a mere nobody, and it can also be used with a touch of pride by people describing a humble start. The two uses share a root idea of absence, one of people in a room and the other of standing in society.
How NOBODY is used
Pronoun in everyday speech and writing; the noun sense is slightly literary and usually appears with an article.
