What does GIMME mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
Something so easy to achieve or obtain that success is essentially guaranteed, especially a short golf putt an opponent allows without requiring it to be played.
Gimme began as a casual spelling of give me and kept that meaning in ordinary speech, but golfers adopted it for a putt so short and simple that a playing partner concedes the stroke rather than making the player finish it out. Outside golf, the word now covers any question, task, or shot at a goal that is considered a near-certain success.
