What does OODLES mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
A very large, informal amount or number of something.
Oodles is used only in its plural form and always describes abundance in a loose, conversational way rather than an exact figure, as in oodles of time, oodles of money, oodles of trouble. No singular oodle exists in ordinary use, so the word behaves grammatically like a fixed plural quantity term rather than a countable noun with its own singular. Its playful sound fits its casual, exaggerated tone.
