What does MICHE mean in Scrabble?
verb
dialectarchaic
To skulk or loiter about secretly, or to stay away from school or work without permission.
Miche describes slipping away to hide, loiter or avoid a duty, most often used in older English dialect for a schoolchild who miches instead of attending lessons. The word survives today mainly in regional British speech and in older texts, where it carries the same sense as the more familiar phrase play truant. Some dialects use miche more broadly for anyone skulking about with a furtive, guilty manner, not only truant pupils. The related word mitch is heard in Irish English with much the same meaning, both tracing back to an old form meaning to skulk or pilfer.
