What does CALLET mean in Scrabble?
noun
archaicregional
An archaic and regional word for a scolding, disreputable, or promiscuous woman, often used as a term of abuse.
Callet was once a common insult, used to call a woman a nagging scold on one hand or a woman of loose morals on the other, with the exact shade of meaning depending on the writer. Shakespeare used the word this way in several plays, and that literary use is by far the form most readers meet today. Outside those older texts, callet survived a while longer in northern English regional speech before fading out of everyday use, so it now reads as archaic rather than current.
