What does GIGOT mean in Scrabble?
noun
Britishhistorical
A leg of lamb or mutton, especially one prepared for roasting; also a sleeve cut wide at the shoulder and narrow at the wrist.
A cook preparing a gigot typically roasts the whole leg of lamb slowly, often with garlic and herbs, and the term remains common in British and Scottish butchery and cookbooks even where American English would simply say leg of lamb. The word also names a distinctive style of sleeve, wide and puffed at the shoulder and tapering sharply toward the wrist, that was highly fashionable in women's clothing during parts of the nineteenth century. Both senses come from the same French word for a leg, since the sleeve's shape was thought to resemble the rounded, tapering form of a leg of meat. Fashion historians still use gigot sleeve as the standard term when describing this once-popular silhouette.
