What does AXMAN mean in Scrabble?
noun
A man who wields an axe, especially one who cuts down trees or acts as an executioner.
An axman is someone whose work centers on the axe, historically a lumberjack felling timber in a forest camp or an executioner carrying out a beheading. The word paints the axe as the defining tool of the person's trade rather than just an implement they occasionally pick up. In modern slang the term has also spread to sport, where a fierce defensive player is sometimes called an axman for the way he cuts down opponents.
