What does LOOFA mean in Scrabble?
noun
A variant spelling of loofah, the fibrous, sponge-like skeleton of a dried gourd used for scrubbing the skin while bathing.
A loofa comes from a tropical vine related to the cucumber; once the fruit ripens and dries, its inner network of tough fibres remains behind after the outer skin and seeds are removed, leaving a coarse, absorbent pad. People rub it over wet skin to slough off dead cells and work up a lather, and it dries quickly between uses because of its open, airy structure. Both loofa and loofah appear in dictionaries and packaging, and the two spellings refer to the exact same plant product rather than to different things.
