What does CHIRP mean in Scrabble?
verb
To make a short, sharp, high-pitched sound, as a small bird or an insect such as a cricket.
Chirp describes the quick repeated notes of sparrows, crickets and similar small creatures, a sound lighter and shorter than a full song. People also chirp when they speak in a bright, cheerful, rapid way, especially early in the morning. Electronic devices are sometimes said to chirp when they emit a short beeping alert. The word works equally well as a noun for the sound itself, as in the chirp of a smoke alarm.
