What does BRAWN mean in Scrabble?
noun
Physical strength and muscle, especially as distinguished from intelligence or skill.
Brawn refers to raw muscular power, often set against brains in comparisons of strength versus cleverness. In British cooking, brawn also names a savoury dish made from the meat of a pig's head, set in its own jelly and sliced cold, a very different sense that surprises those who only know the word for muscle.
