What does CHIRO mean in Scrabble?
noun
informalAustralian
An informal short form of chiropractor, someone who treats spinal and joint problems by manipulation.
Chiro is a clipped form used the way people shorten other professional titles in everyday speech, such as calling a veterinarian a vet. It is heard mainly in Australian and British English, in casual conversation or on clinic signage, rather than in formal medical writing. The clipped form can also refer loosely to the chiropractic treatment itself, not only to the practitioner.
