What does GUTTER mean in Scrabble?
noun
A shallow channel fixed along the edge of a roof, or set along the side of a street, that carries away rainwater.
A roof gutter collects rain running off the tiles and directs it into a downpipe, while a street gutter runs along the kerb and drains surface water into the sewer, so the same word covers two related but separate everyday fixtures. Gutter can also work as a verb, describing a candle whose flame flares and melts unevenly in a draught, or a stream of liquid running in an uneven trickle. Figuratively, the gutter stands for a life of poverty or degradation, as in the phrase gutter press for sensational, low-quality journalism.
How GUTTER is used
Common in everyday speech for both roof and street drainage channels, and used figuratively for squalor or low quality, as in the gutter press.
