What does BELCH mean in Scrabble?
verb
To force air up from the stomach loudly through the mouth.
Belch describes the sudden, audible release of gas from the stomach through the mouth, usually after eating or drinking, and it is generally considered impolite in formal company. Beyond the human body, the word is used figuratively for anything that suddenly pushes out a rush of smoke, flame or fumes, as when a factory chimney is said to belch smoke into the sky. As a noun, a belch is the sound or act itself, distinct from the quieter and more polite term burp often preferred in front of children. The figurative and literal senses share the same idea of a forceful, sudden release from somewhere enclosed.
How BELCH is used
A blunt, everyday word for the bodily act, and also common figuratively for smoke or flame pouring out suddenly.
