What does BROGAN mean in Scrabble?
noun
North American
A heavy, ankle-high work shoe made of rough leather, laced up the front.
Brogan is related to brogue and comes from the Irish word for a shoe. In nineteenth-century America it described the sturdy boots issued to soldiers and worn by farm hands and laborers, often called brogans for short. They were built to last through mud and long marches rather than to look smart, and the word still suggests plain, hard-wearing footwear.
