What does GALOSH mean in Scrabble?
noun
A waterproof rubber overshoe worn over an ordinary shoe to keep it dry.
A galosh slips on over a normal shoe and is taken off again indoors, so the shoe underneath stays clean through rain, slush and mud. The word is usually met in the plural, galoshes, because they are worn as a pair. In earlier centuries the name belonged to a wooden-soled clog, and the rubber version took over once waterproof rubber became cheap.
