What does GOATEE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A small, pointed beard grown on the chin, sometimes with the surrounding cheeks and upper lip shaved.
The goatee takes its name directly from the goat, whose chin tuft the trimmed beard is meant to resemble, and the comparison has stuck in English since at least the nineteenth century. Styles vary widely under the same name, from a thin chin point left alone to a fuller beard shaped and trimmed down to a defined point. Because a goatee frames only the chin, it is often chosen by men who want facial hair without committing to a full beard covering the cheeks. The style has moved in and out of fashion repeatedly, associated at different times with intellectuals, musicians, and villains in film and cartoons.
