What does CHOMP mean in Scrabble?
verb
informal
To chew or bite something noisily and with visible enthusiasm.
To chomp is to bite or chew with an obvious, often noisy vigour, as when someone tears into a sandwich or an animal gnaws on a bone. The word suggests enjoyment or hunger rather than delicate eating, and it is close in meaning to champ, from which it likely developed. It can also work as a noun for the sound or act of a single vigorous bite.
