What does NODDLE mean in Scrabble?
noun
informalBritish
An informal, often joking word for a person's head or mind.
Noddle is used casually and a little dismissively, as when someone tells a forgetful person to use their noddle, meaning to think harder. The word is related historically to nod, since the head is the part of the body that nods, though noddle itself simply names the head rather than describing any particular movement. It survives mainly in British informal speech and in older literature, where characters are told to rack their noddle or knock sense into their noddle.
