What does FROSH mean in Scrabble?
noun
informalNorth American
A first-year student, especially at a college or university; a freshman.
Frosh is a clipped, informal stand-in for freshman, heard mainly around North American universities when people talk about newcomers just starting out on campus. Student newspapers, orientation events, and casual slang often reach for frosh instead of the longer word, sometimes even using it as an adjective, as in frosh week for the events that welcome newcomers. It can point to one individual or, collectively, to the whole incoming class, depending on how it is used in a sentence. Away from campus life, frosh is rarely heard, and most readers would recognise it only as informal student slang.
