What does HOOCH mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
Alcoholic liquor, especially cheap or illegally made spirits.
The word hooch carries a slightly disreputable flavor, suggesting liquor that is homemade, smuggled, or of doubtful quality rather than a fine, legally produced spirit. It became widely known in the United States during Prohibition, when illegal alcohol was distilled and sold in secret. Today people still use hooch loosely for any strong drink, often in a joking or dismissive way. The word can describe anything from moonshine made in a backyard still to an ordinary bottle of liquor mentioned casually.
