What does CLITS mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
The same informal noun in the plural, used mainly when comparing or describing more than one such organ rather than counting a single body's anatomy.
The plural is uncommon for an anatomical reason as much as a linguistic one, and it appears chiefly where something is being compared or described in general terms. Like the singular, clits is marked informal rather than offensive: it is the everyday short form of a medical word, and health writing reaches for it because the full term reads as clinical.
