What does PROST mean in Scrabble?
interjection
informal
Used as a toast when drinking, roughly equivalent to cheers.
Prost is borrowed directly from German, where it shortens a longer wish for good health before drinking. English speakers pick it up mainly around beer culture, such as at a German-style beer hall or an Oktoberfest celebration, where raising a glass and calling out prost feels more festive than the plain English cheers. The word functions only as an exclamation and never takes a plural or verb form of its own.
