What does NIBLET mean in Scrabble?
noun
informalNorth American
A small piece or kernel of food, especially a single kernel of corn.
Niblet plays on nibble, shrinking the word down to name the tiny thing being nibbled, most often a single grain cut free from a corn cob. Home cooks meet niblet constantly on recipe cards and in kitchen talk about corn, while the capitalized brand Niblets sells the same idea on tins without owning the plain, lowercase word. Away from the kitchen the term rarely turns up, since English already has bite, morsel and scrap for other small amounts of food.
