What does FOGDOG mean in Scrabble?
noun
nautical
A pale arc or bright spot of light sometimes seen in fog near the horizon.
Sailors and coastal observers used fogdog for the faint, rainbow-like arc that appears when sunlight shines through fog. It is the same kind of display as a fogbow, though it is often white or only lightly colored because the droplets are so small. The name also reaches back to older nautical talk for a clear patch in a fog bank.
