What does CROCK mean in Scrabble?
noun
A rounded earthenware pot or jar, traditionally used for storing food such as butter, cheese or pickles.
A crock is typically made of thick, glazed clay, which keeps its contents cool and protected from air better than thin metal or glass containers. Before refrigeration became common, a crock was a standard piece of kitchen equipment for preserving food over weeks or months. In British informal speech, an old crock can also describe a worn-out vehicle or, jokingly, a person who complains of age and aches, though this is a separate figurative use. The plain kitchen sense remains the most widely recognized meaning of the word.
