What does POPPLE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To move in a bubbling, rippling or tossing way, as water does when it is choppy or boiling.
To popple is to bob and heave in short, quick movements, which is why the word is most often used for water. A choppy sea can popple against the side of a boat, and a pot of soup may popple on the stove. As a noun it names the rolling or rippling itself. The word is uncommon outside writing about water and the weather.
