What does CRIMP mean in Scrabble?
verb
To press or fold something into small, regular ridges or pleats.
Hairdressers crimp with heated tongs to give hair a rippled, zigzag texture, while bakers crimp the rim of a pie to seal the pastry shut. In metalworking, a crimped seam locks two sheets together without solder or rivets. The noun a crimp names the ridge left by this process, and the idiom put a crimp in something means to disrupt a plan. The technique appears in fields as different as cookery, hairstyling and electrical wiring.
