What does PHPHT mean in Scrabble?
interjection
informal
An interjection used to express irritation, dismissal, or mild disgust.
Phpht is written to represent a short puffing or spitting sound made with the lips, much like pfft or phooey. It appears mainly in comic strips and informal writing to show that a character feels scorn or annoyance without using an actual word. The spelling has no fixed pronunciation and simply imitates the sound a speaker makes. Dictionaries that list it treat it purely as a written exclamation rather than spoken vocabulary.
