What does GALLON mean in Scrabble?
noun
A unit of liquid measure equal to four quarts, used to measure volumes such as fuel, milk, and paint.
A gallon is one of the standard units of capacity in both the British imperial system and the American customary system, though the two versions differ slightly in size. In everyday use the word appears wherever liquid is bought or measured in bulk, from a gallon of milk at the supermarket to a gallon of petrol at a filling station. Recipes, fuel-economy figures, and tank capacities are all commonly expressed in gallons rather than in liters.
