What does CUTUP mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
A person who behaves in a comical, mischievous, or attention-seeking way, often to amuse others.
A cutup is the sort of person who clowns around in class, at work, or at a party, making jokes or pulling pranks rather than behaving seriously. The word is chiefly American and casual in tone, close in meaning to joker or prankster but carrying a slightly fonder, less mocking flavour. It can also describe a person so upset that they seem to fall apart emotionally, though the playful sense is far more common.
