What does ACHOO mean in Scrabble?
interjection
informal
Used to represent the sound a person makes when sneezing.
Achoo imitates the short, sharp burst of a sneeze, and English speakers use it both as a spoken exclamation and as a written stand-in for the sound itself, especially in comics, children's books, and casual writing. Unlike the word sneeze, which names the action, achoo reproduces the noise the action makes. Similar sound words exist in other languages, though the exact spelling varies by how each language represents the sneeze. Because it mimics a sound rather than describing an idea, achoo functions more like a small performance than an ordinary word.
How ACHOO is used
Informal interjection; mainly written to represent a sneeze rather than spoken as a true word.
