What does DRECK mean in Scrabble?
noun
informalNorth American
Something judged shoddy, tasteless or worthless, especially cheap goods or badly made work; an informal word borrowed from Yiddish.
Dreck is an informal put-down for anything judged worthless, tasteless or badly made, from cheap merchandise to poorly written books and films. The word came into English from Yiddish, where dreck means dirt or filth, and it kept much of that dismissive force as it entered everyday American speech. Critics reach for dreck when a plainer word like bad or poor seems too mild for how little value something has. It is almost always used with clear contempt rather than neutral description.
