What does NOGGIN mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
An informal word for a person's head, or, in older use, a small cup or a small measure of alcoholic drink.
Noggin most often turns up in casual speech meaning simply the head, as when someone is told to use their noggin or gets a bump on the noggin. The older sense comes from taverns, where a noggin was a small wooden mug or a measure of spirits roughly equal to a quarter of a pint, and some writers still use noggin for a small drink rather than for the head. The two senses share no obvious connection beyond both being small, everyday and informal.
How NOGGIN is used
Informal; the head sense is common today, while the small-drink sense now sounds old-fashioned.
