What does CLINK mean in Scrabble?
verb
To make a short, sharp, ringing or tinkling sound, especially when glass or metal objects strike lightly together.
Glasses clink when they are gently knocked together in a toast, and coins clink when they jingle loosely in a pocket, the word always suggesting a bright, brief metallic or glassy sound rather than a deep or heavy one. As a noun, a clink is the sound itself, and informally in British English the clink is also an old slang name for prison, taken from an actual former jail of that name in London. The word can describe anything from a single light tap to a repeated, cheerful jingling. Whatever the source, clink always points to a small, sharp, ringing sound rather than a dull thud.
