What does HOMER mean in Scrabble?
noun
informalNorth American
A home run in baseball.
A homer is a hit that lets the batter round every base and score without stopping, the same thing a home run names formally. Sports writers and commentators reach for the shorter word for pace and rhythm, and homer also works as a verb, so a batter can homer in the third inning. An older, unrelated sense of the word also exists, an ancient Hebrew unit for measuring grain, which has nothing to do with baseball.
