What does GREASE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A thick, oily or fatty substance, especially one used to lubricate machinery.
Grease can mean the industrial kind smeared onto gears, wheels and engine parts to reduce friction, or the softer animal fat left over from cooking meat, which cooks once saved for later use. The same word turns into a verb, to grease, meaning to coat something with it, and by extension to grease someone's palm means to bribe them. Mechanics, cooks and gardeners all use the word, though the exact substance they mean differs completely. It is one of the older words in English, going back many centuries to describe animal fat.
