What does DROLL mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Droll means amusing in an odd, quaint or offbeat way, often with a dry or understated sense of humour.
A droll remark or person makes people laugh through a strange or unexpected angle rather than through loud jokes, so the humour often feels dry, wry or slightly eccentric. Writers frequently pair droll with a straight face or a deadpan delivery, since the comic effect depends on contrast between a serious manner and an absurd idea. The word can describe a person, a story, a look or a whole situation, as long as the humour feels quietly odd rather than broad.
