What does LUGGIE mean in Scrabble?
noun
Scotsdialect
A small wooden pail or dish with a handle called a lug, used traditionally in Scotland for milking or carrying liquids.
The word luggie comes from lug, an old term for a handle or ear-shaped projection on a vessel, and describes a simple wooden container once common on Scottish farms. Farmhands used a luggie mainly for milking cows or carrying water, valuing its single stave handle for a secure one-handed grip. Robert Burns and other Scottish writers mentioned the luggie in verse, which helped keep the word alive in literary Scots long after the object itself became rare.
