What does DRANK mean in Scrabble?
noun
dialecthistorical
Bearded darnel or a similar coarse wild oat grass that grows as a weed among cultivated grain.
Drank names a scruffy grass, related to the weeds known as drawk and dravick, that farmers found mixed in among a field of oats or barley and treated as a nuisance rather than a crop. Old dictionaries list drank next to drake as one more spelling for the very same plant, which is a separate, older sense of the word entirely apart from drank as the ordinary past tense of the verb drink. Both the plant sense and the verb form share only their spelling and history.
