What does GREEK mean in Scrabble?

noun

informal

Something completely unintelligible or impossible to understand, as in the phrase "it's all Greek to me."

Greek is used this way because, to an English speaker unfamiliar with the Greek alphabet and language, written or spoken Greek can look and sound entirely foreign and impossible to follow. Shakespeare popularised the idiom in one of his plays, and it has stayed in everyday English ever since as a light-hearted way to admit total confusion.

How GREEK is used

Used informally, almost always inside the fixed phrase "it's all Greek to me."
