What does GULLET mean in Scrabble?
noun
The passage that carries food and drink from the mouth to the stomach; the throat or oesophagus.
In everyday speech gullet is simply an informal word for the throat, the tube food travels down after swallowing, and people sometimes use it loosely for an animal's whole throat and neck. In excavation and engineering, gullet also names a narrow channel cut wide enough for wagons or machinery to pass through a work site, while on a saw blade it refers to the deep gap between the teeth that clears away sawdust as the blade cuts. All three senses share the same underlying image of a wide, open channel through which something is meant to pass freely.
How GULLET is used
Common informally for the throat, and used more technically in excavation and toolmaking for a channel or notch shaped like one.
