What does PITMAN mean in Scrabble?
noun
British
A man who works in a pit, especially a coal miner, or a connecting rod in a machine such as a sawmill.
In the coalfields of Britain a pitman was a miner who worked underground at the coal face, and the term appears in many local histories of mining towns. In engineering a pitman is also the rod that links a rotating crank to a part that moves back and forth, as in a sawmill or an old steam engine. The two senses share only the spelling and a distant link to the word pit.
