What does BLEEP mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
A short, high-pitched electronic sound, such as one made by a device to signal or attract attention, or the same kind of sound used in broadcasting to cover an obscene or censored word.
A pager or a microwave gives off a bleep to announce that it needs attention, the short, sharp sound designed to cut through background noise without being genuinely alarming. Television and radio editors reach for a bleep of exactly the same kind whenever a speaker uses profanity that broadcasters are not permitted to air, replacing the offending word with the electronic tone instead of cutting the whole sentence. Because the censoring use is so familiar, people sometimes say bleep out loud as a joking stand-in for a swear word they are deliberately not saying. The word can also work as a verb, so a technician might bleep a line of dialogue before a program goes to air.
How BLEEP is used
Informal and widely understood; used both literally for the sound made by an electronic device and, especially in broadcasting, for the tone that replaces a censored word.
- The heart monitor gave a steady bleep beside the hospital bed.
