What does BINDLE mean in Scrabble?
noun
North Americanslang
A small bundle of clothes and belongings tied up in cloth and carried on a stick, as by a wandering worker.
The bindle is the picture of the American hobo, with a cloth knotted around his belongings and slung over one shoulder on a pole. It probably comes from the German word for bundle. Cartoons still show runaways carrying a bindle, and the word has given the phrase bindle stiff for a migrant labourer.
