What does FAUGH mean in Scrabble?
interjection
archaic
An interjection expressing strong disgust or contempt.
Faugh is spoken as a single exclamation rather than a full word with grammar of its own, much like ugh or pah, and it appears mainly in older or literary writing where a character reacts with revulsion to a smell, sight or idea. Because it carries no meaning beyond the reaction itself, faugh is never inflected and never used as a noun or verb. Writers reach for it when a milder word such as ugh would understate the disgust felt.
How FAUGH is used
