What does MIDDEN mean in Scrabble?
noun
British
A heap of household refuse and dung, or an ancient mound of such waste.
A midden was once the pile at the farm door where manure, ashes and kitchen scraps were thrown, and the word is still common in northern English and Scottish speech. Archaeologists use it for prehistoric mounds of shells, bones and tools, which give a surprisingly full record of how people lived and ate. The word came from a Scandinavian source and is related to muck.
