What does DARKS mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
Dark-coloured clothes, sorted and washed separately from lighter items.
Darks is a laundry-room shorthand, splitting a wash load into darks, whites and colours so that dye does not run between them. The word turns a plain adjective into a household category, standing for a whole pile rather than for any single dark garment. It is heard far more often than it is written, mostly in instructions about how to sort a wash.
