What does HUMMER mean in Scrabble?
noun
A person or thing that hums, or a hummingbird.
A hummer is anyone or anything that makes a low, steady humming sound, from a singer who carries a tune with closed lips to a small bird whose wings beat with a hum. In American speech the word also became slang for an exceptionally good or striking thing, as in a hummer of a day, and it was later used as a name for a large rugged road vehicle. Context usually shows at once which of these senses is meant.
