What does FRESH mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Recently made, obtained, or grown, and not stale, preserved, or spoiled; also, new, energetic, or unfamiliar.
Fresh most often describes food or produce that has just been picked, cooked, or prepared, in contrast to anything tinned, frozen, or left standing too long. The word extends easily to people and ideas, so a fresh start means a new beginning and a fresh idea means one not heard before. It also describes weather, air, or water that feels clean and cool, as in a fresh breeze off the sea. In informal speech, calling someone fresh can instead mean they are being cheeky or too forward, a very different sense from the everyday one about food and newness.
How FRESH is used
Extremely common in everyday speech, used for food, ideas, weather, and, informally, for cheeky or forward behaviour.
