What does DUDEEN mean in Scrabble?
noun
Irish
A short clay tobacco pipe, traditionally associated with Ireland.
A dudeen is smaller than an ordinary tobacco pipe, with a short stem that let it be gripped between the teeth while both hands were busy. The word entered English from Irish and was common in nineteenth-century writing about rural Ireland. Such pipes were cheap and easily broken, so a smoker often carried several dudeens at once. Some sources also spell the word dudheen, but dudeen is the form most often printed today.
