What does GARCON mean in Scrabble?
noun
A waiter in a French restaurant or cafe, also used as a form of address to him.
Garcon is the French word for boy, and in restaurants it came to mean the man who brings your table its dishes. English diners borrowed it as a way of calling the waiter over, a habit that now sounds dated and can seem rude to a modern server. Printed menus and period novels still use it. The original French spelling carries a cedilla under the c, which English often drops.
How GARCON is used
