What does GOBBET mean in Scrabble?
noun
A small lump or piece of something, especially raw meat, or a short extract from a text.
A gobbet of flesh or fat is the sort of thing a hungry animal tears off and swallows, and the word often carries a faintly unpleasant air. In British universities a gobbet is also a short passage of a text set for close comment in an exam, an academic sense that surprises many outsiders. The word derives from an old French term for a mouthful.
