What does CARHOP mean in Scrabble?
noun
North American
A waiter or waitress who serves food to customers sitting in their cars at a drive-in restaurant.
The job grew up in the United States in the 1920s and 1930s, when roadside restaurants let customers eat without leaving their vehicles. The name joined car and hop, because early servers hopped onto the running board of the car to take an order. Carhops became a symbol of mid-century American diners, often shown on roller skates.
