What does JOSTLE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To push or bump against people roughly, especially in a crowd.
To jostle is to knock into others with shoulders or elbows while trying to make your way through a crowd, or to compete with others for space and attention. The word can be used of people at a market, of passengers on a train and, figuratively, of ideas or businesses that are crowded together and struggling for position. It grew out of an older word meaning to joust or to bump, and it carries a sense of rough, hurried contact rather than a hard blow.
