What does BLURT mean in Scrabble?
verb
To say something suddenly and without thinking it through, often because of surprise, nervousness, or a failure to control the impulse to speak.
To blurt something out is almost always involuntary in feeling, as though the words escaped before the speaker had time to consider whether to say them at all. The verb usually pairs with out, as in blurt out a secret, and it carries a mild sense of embarrassment or regret once the words are already spoken. Because blurting suggests a lack of self-control rather than deliberate honesty, it differs from simply speaking bluntly, which can be quite calculated.
