What does DOGEAR mean in Scrabble?
verb
informal
To fold down the corner of a page, usually to mark a place or as a result of careless handling.
To dogear a page is to bend its corner over, most often to hold a reading place without a proper bookmark, though it can also happen simply from rough handling of a book. The folded corner it leaves behind is itself sometimes called a dogear, so the same word covers both the action and the mark it leaves. Book collectors generally frown on the habit, since a permanently creased corner is hard to flatten out again.
How DOGEAR is used
Informal; used for the habit of folding down a page corner rather than using a bookmark.
