What does FRINGE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A decorative border of loose threads or strips hanging from the edge of cloth, or an outer edge or margin of something.
Shawls, lampshades, curtains and suede jackets are often finished with a fringe of hanging cords that swing as they move. By extension the word names any outer border, such as the fringe of a forest, and it also describes the edge of a group, as in fringe politics. In British usage a fringe is also the short hair cut across the forehead, which Americans call bangs.
