What does PIPPIN mean in Scrabble?
noun
A kind of dessert apple, or an apple grown from a seed rather than grafted.
The pippin is an old family of eating apples, such as the Newtown pippin and the Cox's orange pippin, valued for their crisp flesh and rich flavour. In earlier times the word meant an apple raised from a seed, rather than from a graft. In slang, especially British, a pippin can also be an excellent person or thing, and the same feeling lives in the older expression a real pippin.
