What does POODLE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A dog of an intelligent breed with a dense, curly coat that is often clipped into decorative shapes, bred in standard, miniature and toy sizes.
The poodle began as a water retriever in Germany and was later adopted as the national dog of France. Its curly coat sheds little, which makes it popular with people who dislike hair on the furniture. In everyday speech a poodle can also be a person who follows a more powerful leader too eagerly, a figurative use that is meant as an insult.
