What does BUTCH mean in Scrabble?
adjective
informalslang
Tough, strong or aggressively masculine in appearance, manner or dress.
Butch is an informal word applied to a person, especially a woman, whose manner, clothing or build is seen as strongly masculine rather than delicate or conventionally feminine. Within lesbian communities the word is also used as a positive, self-chosen label for a masculine-presenting woman, standing in contrast to the term femme. Outside that specific use, butch can simply describe anyone or anything that looks tough or rugged, such as a butch pickup truck. The tone of the word depends heavily on who is using it and in what setting.
