What does COMPO mean in Scrabble?
noun
informalBritishAustralian
A mixture of cement, sand and water used for building, plastering or repair work.
Builders reach for compo when they need a workable paste for rendering a wall or patching damaged brickwork, and the term is common slang on Australian and British sites alike. Away from construction, compo is also shorthand for compensation, especially when someone talks about claiming compo after a workplace injury. Both uses stay firmly informal and would look out of place in an official report. Neither sense has much currency outside Britain, Ireland and Australia.
How COMPO is used
Informal; heard on building sites for the cement mixture, and in everyday British and Australian speech as a short form of compensation.
- The builders mixed a fresh batch of compo for the wall.
- He smoothed the compo over the cracked bricks.
- The old shed floor was laid in compo rather than concrete.
- They ran out of compo before finishing the path.
- A thin layer of compo covered the damp patch.
