What does FLYTE mean in Scrabble?
verb
archaicScots
To scold, quarrel, or brawl with someone, especially in a loud verbal exchange.
To flyte someone was to argue or trade abuse with them, often in a public and theatrical way rather than in quiet anger. The word survives mainly through the related term flyting, a traditional verbal contest in which two people hurl insults at each other, once practised in Scots and older English verse. Outside that older tradition, flyte is rarely heard in ordinary conversation today. A dictionary meeting the word will usually gloss it simply as another form of flite, meaning to quarrel or brawl.
