What does GNASH mean in Scrabble?
verb
To grind or strike the teeth together, especially in anger, pain, or frustration.
People gnash their teeth as an involuntary sign of strong emotion, a habit old enough that the phrase weeping and gnashing of teeth has survived for centuries as an image of extreme distress. Writers still reach for gnash to show a character fury or frustration without spelling out the feeling directly, letting the physical action carry the emotion. The verb can also apply to machinery or animals, as when gears or jaws gnash together with a harsh grinding sound.
How GNASH is used
Common in both everyday and literary writing, almost always describing teeth ground together in strong emotion.
