What does NOGG mean in Scrabble?
noun
Britishdialect
A small block or peg of wood used in carpentry to fill a gap or support a joist; also, a strong ale or an eggnog-style drink.
Builders once used a nogg to plug a hole between studs or to give a nail something solid to bite into, a sense that survives mainly in older carpentry vocabulary. The same spelling also named a strong regional beer and, later, a rich eggnog drink, so context decides which nogg is meant.
