What does GRANDS mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
Thousands of pounds or dollars.
Grand is singular and plural at once when a number stands in front of it — five grand, never five grands — so the form with the s belongs to vaguer phrasing: grands of it, a few grands short. Purists object, and the objection is losing, which is the usual fate of an objection about a plural.
How GRANDS is used
After a number the usual form has no s: ten grand. The plural appears only in looser speech.
- He was a few grands short of the deposit.
- They talk in grands and never in hundreds.
- Two grands went on the roof alone.
- Nobody writes grands into a contract.
- The car cost grands more than it was ever worth.
