What does HUMOR mean in Scrabble?
noun
North American
The quality of being funny or amusing, or the ability to find and appreciate what is amusing in a situation.
Humor covers everything from a well-told joke to the dry, unspoken wit found in an awkward situation, and people are often praised or criticized for the particular style of humor they display. The word can also work as a verb meaning to go along with someone's wishes or mood in order to please or placate them, a very different sense from the noun. Humor is the standard American spelling, while humour is preferred in British and most other varieties of English.
