What does FLIRT mean in Scrabble?
verb
To behave playfully or teasingly toward someone in a way that suggests romantic or sexual interest, without necessarily meaning it seriously.
Someone who chooses to flirt at a party might exchange playful compliments, lingering glances, or light teasing, signaling interest without committing to anything more. The word can also describe a looser kind of engagement, as when a person flirts with an idea, a career change, or a risky hobby, testing the waters without full commitment. A person known for doing this often, called a flirt, may simply enjoy the attention rather than seek any lasting relationship. Because flirting relies so heavily on tone and body language, the same words can flirt in one context and sound merely friendly in another.

Common in everyday speech, used both for romantic teasing and, more loosely, for tentatively considering an idea or activity.
