What does DISEUR mean in Scrabble?
noun
rare
A male performer who entertains an audience with spoken monologues or recitations.
Diseur is a French loanword built on the verb dire, to say, and names a performer whose act consists of talking rather than singing or dancing, typically witty stories, character sketches, or dramatic monologues delivered directly to an audience. The female counterpart is called a diseuse, a term that became somewhat better known in English through cabaret and music-hall history. Diseur itself stayed rare in English and appears mostly in writing about theater and popular entertainment of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
