What does CUTTLE mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
A shortened, informal name for the cuttlefish, a soft-bodied sea creature related to squid and octopus.
Fishermen and older writers often shortened cuttlefish to simply cuttle, much as sailors clip other long animal names in everyday speech. The animal itself has ten arms, a broad oval body with narrow fins running its length, and a chalky internal shell, the cuttlebone, that is sold in pet shops for birds to sharpen their beaks on. Older dialect also used cuttle for an ordinary knife and, separately, as a verb meaning to whisper or to fold cloth in a particular way, though the sea-creature sense is by far the most familiar today.
