What does BLAGUE mean in Scrabble?
noun
literary
Empty, boastful talk meant to impress, or a piece of light nonsense told as a joke.
Blague arrived in English from French, where it means a hoax or a bit of showy chatter. A speaker full of blague is not exactly lying; he is puffing himself up with cheerful exaggeration that few listeners take seriously. The word turns up mostly in older or very polished writing and keeps a faintly Continental flavor.
