What does FLICK mean in Scrabble?
verb
To make a sudden, light, quick movement, especially with the fingers, a whip, or a switch.
To flick something is to move it fast and briefly, often with a small snap of the wrist or fingers, as when someone flicks a light switch or flicks ash from a cigarette. The motion is short and controlled rather than forceful, distinguishing it from a full swing or throw. In informal speech the related noun also names a movie, likely from the flickering look of old film projections.
