What does CARN mean in Scrabble?
interjection
Australian
A shout of encouragement called out at sporting events, meaning roughly "come on!", used to urge a team or player forward.
Carn is the shouted, run-together form of "come on", heard mainly from crowds at sporting events, most famously at Australian football matches. Rather than being spoken as two separate words, carn is treated as its own exclamation, chanted repeatedly to cheer on a favoured team. The word carries no meaning outside this excited, supportive shout from the stands.
