What does ORRA mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Scotsdialect
Odd, spare, or used only occasionally; not part of a regular set or routine.
A farm worker taken on for occasional jobs rather than steady work was called an orra man, and a tool kept aside for rare use, or a sock without its pair, could equally be called orra. The word covers being unmatched, being extra, and being used only now and then, so no single ordinary English word covers it exactly.
