What does HAVER mean in Scrabble?
verb
Scots
To talk nonsense, or to dither.
In Scotland to haver is to blether on without saying much; south of the border the word drifted towards hesitation instead, so a committee can haver for an hour without anybody being foolish. The song line about walking five hundred miles has kept the Scots sense in front of people who would never otherwise use it.
