What does BLECH mean in Scrabble?
interjection
informal
Used to express disgust or distaste.
Blech is a short, sound-based interjection, much like ugh or yuck, and it needs no grammar around it to make its point. Speakers use it as an instant reaction to something unpleasant to taste, smell, or look at, often before they even find proper words. Because it imitates a gagging sound, blech carries an immediate, physical sense of revulsion rather than a calm or reasoned complaint.
