What does BRICK mean in Scrabble?
noun
A rectangular block of fired clay or similar material used for building walls and other structures.
Bricks are made by shaping wet clay in a mould and then baking it hard in a kiln, producing a uniform block that can be stacked with mortar to build strong, durable walls. The word also names any object of similar rectangular shape, so people casually call a phone or a solid loaf of bread a brick because of its shape and weight. In slang, calling a person a brick is an old-fashioned compliment meaning that they are dependable and solid in character. Brickwork has shaped the appearance of towns and cities for thousands of years, from ancient Mesopotamia to modern housing estates.
