What does DWEEB mean in Scrabble?
noun
slanginformalhumorous
A person seen as socially awkward, unfashionable or overly studious, especially one absorbed in nerdy interests.
Dweeb picks out someone who seems out of step with what is considered cool, often because they are more interested in books, computers or obscure hobbies than in fitting in socially. The word is playful rather than cruel, closer to teasing than to real insult, and it often gets used affectionately among friends. American slang from the late twentieth century popularized dweeb alongside similar terms for awkward, brainy types, though dweeb leans more toward clumsiness than raw intelligence. Calling someone a dweeb usually paints a picture of thick glasses, mismatched clothes and a slightly awkward manner rather than genuine unkindness.
