What does FINK mean in Scrabble?
noun
informalNorth American
An informer; a person who betrays others, especially to an employer or the police.
Fink came out of American labour disputes, where it named the man who told the company who was organising, and it kept that specific weight even after it spread into general slang. Calling someone a fink says less about what they did than about whose side they were supposed to be on.
