What does NIPPLE mean in Scrabble?
noun
The small projection on a breast through which a baby takes milk, or a small projecting part through which fluid passes.
In anatomy the nipple is the tip of the mammary gland in mammals, and the term covers the equivalent small structure in males as well. Outside biology the word is borrowed for engineering and household parts: the rubber teat on a baby bottle, the short threaded pipe that joins two fittings, and the small fitting through which grease is pumped into a bearing. In older firearms the nipple was the small steel stud on which a percussion cap was placed.
