What does LOTS mean in Scrabble?
pronoun
informal
Used informally, especially in phrases such as lots of and lots better, to indicate a great quantity or a high degree of something.
When lots is used this way it no longer refers to a specific plot of land or an item at an auction but simply means much or many, as in lots of time or lots of people. The word can also stand alone as an informal pronoun meaning a great quantity, which is a separate sense from its plain plural use.
How LOTS is used
Common in everyday informal speech and writing; avoided in formal registers, where much or many is preferred.
- There were lots of people at the fair.
- She has lots of time before the train leaves.
- He gave lots away to anyone who asked.
- We saved lots by shopping early.
- I still have lots left in the jar.
