What does FEIST mean in Scrabble?
noun
North Americaninformal
A small, spirited mixed-breed dog, traditionally used in parts of the rural United States for hunting squirrels and other small game.
A feist is a small terrier-like dog, usually of no fixed breed, bred and kept mainly in the American South and Appalachian region for treeing squirrels and other small animals. The word also gave rise to the adjective feisty, describing someone with the same lively, scrappy energy people associate with these little hunting dogs. Feist types are not a single recognised breed but a working type defined by size, temperament and purpose rather than pedigree.
