What does LAUGH mean in Scrabble?
verb
To make sounds and facial movements that show amusement, joy, or sometimes derision.
People laugh in response to something funny, surprising, or absurd, and the reaction is largely involuntary once it starts. A laugh can range from a quiet chuckle to a loud, uncontrollable fit, and its meaning shifts with context: nervous laughter, for instance, signals discomfort rather than real amusement. Because laughing is contagious, one person's laugh often triggers laughter in everyone nearby.
