What does FILTH mean in Scrabble?
noun
Disgusting dirt or filthy matter, or obscene material or language.
Filth names dirt at its most repellent, the kind that suggests decay or disease rather than ordinary mess, so a gutter choked with filth is a different image from a room that merely needs tidying. From there the word extended to speech and writing considered morally disgusting, so a censor removing filth from a book means obscenity rather than mud. British slang has also used the plain word filth as a contemptuous term for the police, a sense that stays firmly outside any polite register.
How FILTH is used
Uncountable, as in covered in filth or a stream of filth; the slang sense for the police is chiefly British and informal.
