What does FRACAS mean in Scrabble?
noun
A loud scuffle or row that breaks out suddenly, the kind of commotion that draws a crowd or the police.
A fracas is a scuffle with plenty of shouting, usually short-lived and rather confused, such as a row outside a pub or a scrap among rival fans. English took the word from French, which in turn borrowed it from Italian fracasso, meaning a crash or uproar. Reporters like it because it sounds livelier than a plain argument yet less grave than a riot.
