What does PERT mean in Scrabble?
adjective
informal
Impudently bold or forward in a lively, often amusingly cheeky way.
A pert remark or manner is confident and quick, crossing just over the line of politeness without being genuinely rude, and the word is often used approvingly of someone spirited rather than simply badly behaved. It can also describe things that look jaunty or perky, such as a pert little hat or a pert nose. The tone is light rather than harsh, closer to sauciness than to real disrespect.
How PERT is used
