What does GASCON mean in Scrabble?
noun
literary
A person from Gascony in south-west France, or a boastful, swaggering talker.
Gascon names a native of the old French province of Gascony, whose people were long teased for their bravado. From that reputation the word took on a second meaning, a braggart who talks big about his courage. Adventure novels set in the seventeenth century lean on this picture, and the related word gasconade means empty boasting. Which meaning is intended is usually clear from whether a region or a character is being described.
