What does CHUMP mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
A foolish or easily fooled person, or the thick end of a piece of meat or wood.
A chump is someone gullible enough to be tricked or taken advantage of, often used affectionately rather than with real cruelty, as in calling oneself a chump for falling for a simple joke. The word also names something solid and blunt, especially the thick end of a loin of meat or a short, heavy block of wood, and this older sense is likely where the meaning of a dull, slow-witted person comes from. Both uses share the idea of something thick-headed or thick-ended.
How CHUMP is used
The sense of a foolish person is informal and mild rather than harsh; the sense of a thick cut of meat is mainly a butchery term.
