What does ORMER mean in Scrabble?
noun
Britishregional
An edible sea snail with a flat, ear-shaped shell lined with mother-of-pearl, found off the Channel Islands and Brittany.

Islanders in Jersey and Guernsey have gathered ormers for food for generations, prizing the sweet, firm meat inside, though strict local rules now limit when and how many may be collected each year. The same animal is called an abalone across most of the English-speaking world.
