What does OUTLIE mean in Scrabble?
verb
archaic
To exceed or surpass another person in lying; to tell more or greater falsehoods than someone else.
Outlie is formed from lie in the sense of telling an untruth, combined with the comparative prefix out-, so that to outlie someone means to beat them at dishonesty. The word is old-fashioned and now rare, more likely to appear in historical or literary writing than in everyday conversation. A separate and equally old sense of outlie meant simply to lie outside or beyond a particular place, as when a scout would outlie the main camp overnight. Both senses share the same shape but differ completely in meaning, since one is about deceit and the other about physical position.
