What does BLUNT mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Not sharp; having a dull edge or point; also, of a person, speaking or acting in a very direct way without softening or disguising the truth.
A blunt knife has lost or never had a fine cutting edge, and the same idea of dullness carries over into the way English describes people: a blunt remark cuts straight to the point without the padding of polite hesitation. Being blunt is often seen as honest but a little tactless, since a blunt speaker rarely takes time to consider how a listener might feel. The word can also work as a verb, as in to blunt an argument, meaning to weaken its force rather than sharpen it.
