What does BULLET mean in Scrabble?
noun
A small, usually pointed piece of metal fired from a gun, designed to travel fast and strike a target with force.
A bullet sits inside a cartridge together with gunpowder and a primer, and is propelled out of the barrel when the charge ignites, leaving the rest of the cartridge case behind. Beyond firearms, the word has spread into everyday language, so a very fast train can be called a bullet train and a small round mark used to list items on a page shares the same name. People also say something moves like a bullet to describe extreme speed, and dodging a bullet has come to mean narrowly avoiding a bad outcome. Surgeons sometimes have to remove a bullet lodged in tissue after a shooting.
How BULLET is used
Common both in its literal sense and in figurative expressions about speed or narrow escapes.
- The bullet lodged just beneath the skin without hitting bone.
