What does ORTS mean in Scrabble?
noun
dialect
Scraps or leftover bits of food remaining after a meal.
Orts are the crumbs, crusts and other bits pushed aside on a plate once a meal is finished, and in older farm speech they were swept up and given to hens or pigs rather than thrown away. The word is almost always used in this plural form, since a meal usually leaves more than one such scrap behind.
