What does DODO mean in Scrabble?
noun
A large flightless bird that once lived on the island of Mauritius and became extinct in the seventeenth century.
The dodo could not fly and had no natural fear of the sailors and animals that arrived on Mauritius, which is one reason it was hunted to extinction so quickly; it has since become the standard example of a species wiped out by human contact. The word is also used figuratively for a person or idea seen as hopelessly old-fashioned, as in the phrase "dead as a dodo".
