What does BAYMAN mean in Scrabble?
noun
A man who lives or earns his living by fishing or working on a bay.
A bayman is a person whose life is tied to the shallow waters of a bay, usually as a small-scale fisherman, clammer or oysterman. The word is most familiar from the coast of Long Island in New York, where baymen have worked the inshore waters for generations. The bayman is distinguished from the deep-sea fisherman by working close to shore in small boats and with traditional gear.
