What does FROTH mean in Scrabble?
noun
A mass of small bubbles formed on the surface of a liquid, especially through agitation, fermentation, or boiling; also, something empty or insubstantial.
Froth appears wherever a liquid is shaken, poured, or fermented energetically enough to trap air in small bubbles, from the head on a poured beer to the foam whipped up on the sea. The word also works as a verb, so a liquid is said to froth when it produces this bubbly layer, and an angry animal or person can be described as frothing at the mouth. Beyond liquids, froth has a figurative sense for talk or writing that sounds impressive but carries little real substance, as in dismissing an argument as mere froth. Across its uses, froth always suggests something light, insubstantial, and quick to collapse.
How FROTH is used
Common in everyday speech for bubbles on a liquid, and figuratively for talk or ideas with little real substance.
