What does CRUMP mean in Scrabble?
noun
informalhistorical
A dull, heavy thudding sound, especially that of an artillery shell or bomb exploding at a distance; also used as a verb meaning to make such a sound.
Crump began as a way of describing the muffled boom of an exploding shell heard from a distance, a sound soldiers in the First World War came to know well and wrote about often. As a verb, guns or shells were said to crump somewhere off in the darkness, the word imitating the low, percussive noise itself rather than a sharp crack. In more recent informal medical slang, a patient is said to crump when their condition suddenly and seriously worsens, a figurative extension of something falling or collapsing heavily. Across its uses, crump keeps the same underlying picture of a sudden, heavy, dull impact.
How CRUMP is used
