What does HOTROD mean in Scrabble?
noun
informalNorth American
A car altered with a stronger engine and a lighter body to go much faster than normal.
The hotrod culture began in California in the 1930s and 1940s, when young drivers stripped old cars of heavy parts and fitted them with bigger engines for street and dry-lake racing. The result often has flame paint, exposed engines and oversized rear wheels. Used as a verb, it means to tune a vehicle or other machine this way. More often the term is written as two words, hot rod.
