What does PRICK mean in Scrabble?
verb
To pierce something lightly with a small, sharp point.
Pricking involves a brief, shallow puncture, such as a needle pressing into fabric while sewing or a thorn catching against skin while gardening. The action is usually quick and produces only a small mark or a momentary sting rather than a deep wound. The word also appears in the phrase to prick up one's ears, describing an animal or a person suddenly becoming alert to a sound. As a noun, a prick refers to the small puncture mark itself, such as the mark left by a needle or a pin.
