What does LOUCHE mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Disreputable or shady in a way that is still somehow charming or fascinating.
Louche was borrowed from French, where it first meant cross-eyed, and the sense of looking slightly askew carried over into English as something not quite respectable. A louche bar, a louche character or a louche reputation suggests loose morals and a hint of danger, but usually with style rather than real menace. The word is often used with a touch of admiration, which separates it from plain seedy.
