What does MIMEO mean in Scrabble?
noun
informalhistorical
A copy produced by a mimeograph machine, or the machine itself, once widely used for duplicating typed pages.
Before photocopiers became common, offices and schools ran a stencil through a mimeo machine to print many copies of a document at once, and the process left a distinctive purple-inked page that many older readers still remember. Mimeo is also used as a verb, meaning to run off copies on such a machine. The distinctive smell of fresh mimeo ink is still a vivid memory for many people who attended school before photocopiers became standard.
