What does DINDLE mean in Scrabble?
verb
Scotsdialect
To tingle or vibrate slightly, especially from cold, a sharp blow, or a loud noise nearby.
Dindle is a Scots and northern English dialect verb for the faint shivering feeling that runs through a body part, most often fingers or hands numbed by frost. It is closely related to the standard English tingle, and some dictionaries treat dindle and its close cousin dinnle as the same word spelled two ways. Outside Scotland and the north of England the word is rarely heard, and most readers meet it only in older dialect writing or glossaries.
