What does JUPE mean in Scrabble?
noun
Scots
A skirt, or a woman's loose bodice or short jacket.
Jupe is the French word for skirt and it entered Scots directly rather than through English, which is why it appears in Scottish writing where the rest of the language would simply say skirt. The older sense is a garment for the upper body, and the two live awkwardly in one word: the century of the text is usually the only clue.
