What does KEF mean in Scrabble?
noun
A state of drowsy contentment, or the drug that brings it on.
Kef comes from Arabic and travelled into English with North African travel writing, where it names both the condition and the smoking mixture. English took it chiefly for the condition — an afternoon of kef is a fine way to describe doing nothing on purpose — and the spelling wanders through kif and keef.
