What does PROLE mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
A member of the working class, especially when regarded collectively and often with a dismissive or contemptuous tone.
The word prole shortens proletarian and became widely known through its use in George Orwell's novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, where it names the vast, powerless working population. Outside that book, prole still carries a faint sneer, as if the speaker were looking down on ordinary working people from above. Because of that undertone, prole appears far more often in casual put-downs or literary writing than in neutral, everyday description.
