What does BOITE mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
A small, fashionable nightclub or restaurant, especially one that is intimate or somewhat exclusive.
Borrowed from the French word for a box, boite entered English to describe the kind of small, cramped, but stylish nightspot where a few tables and a band or singer fit into a compact room. The word suits places that feel intimate or a little glamorous rather than large chain restaurants or ordinary bars, and it often appears in writing about nightlife or the entertainment world. In its native French sense, boite can also mean a box or case in general, a usage that occasionally survives in specialized English contexts such as an artist's portfolio case.
