What does DIRK mean in Scrabble?
noun
A long straight dagger, worn as part of Highland dress.
The dirk began as a fighting knife and ended as an ornament: by the nineteenth century it hung at the belt of a full Highland outfit with a small knife and fork tucked into the sheath beside it. Naval officers kept a version of their own, which is why a dirk turns up in sea stories as often as in Scottish ones.
