What does KWEEN mean in Scrabble?
noun
slang
A respelling of queen used as slang praise for a confident or admired woman.
Kween began in drag and ballroom culture, where changing the spelling signalled that the word was being used as an accolade rather than as a title of rank. Social media later spread kween to anybody being praised for confidence or style, and the odd spelling is the whole point: it marks the word as slang rather than as a typing mistake.
How KWEEN is used
