What does POSTAL mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Relating to the collection, sorting, and delivery of mail; done through the postal service.
A postal worker, a postal code, and a postal service all refer to the system that moves letters and parcels from sender to recipient, and postal describes anything connected with that network, from postal rates to postal regulations. In American slang, the phrase go postal means to become suddenly and violently angry, an expression that grew out of a string of workplace incidents decades ago and now survives mainly as a dark exaggeration rather than a literal reference to mail workers.
