What does GROT mean in Scrabble?
noun
literarypoeticinformalBritish

Grot is chiefly a poetic shortening of grotto, used in older verse and description for a small, attractive cave, sometimes artificial and built as a garden feature. Separately, in modern British slang, grot has drifted to mean rubbish, filth or something of poor quality, quite apart from its cave sense.
