What does FLAKE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A small, thin, flat piece that has broken off from a larger mass.
A flake of snow, paint, skin or soap is thin enough to bend or crumble easily, and it typically separates from something larger through cold, dryness or wear. The word is also used as a verb, as when old paint flakes off a wall in small pieces over time. In informal American speech a flake is instead an unreliable person who cancels plans, a sense that has nothing to do with the physical meaning.
