What does PTUI mean in Scrabble?
interjection
informal
A word imitating the sound of spitting, used to show contempt or disgust.
Ptui is written to stand for a noise rather than for meaning, in the same family as ptooey, and both exist purely to represent one short, forceful sound made with the mouth. Writers reach for ptui when a character wants to show contempt without saying a word, since the sound itself carries the insult.
