What does RAGTAG mean in Scrabble?
adjective
informal
Disorganized, untidy, or made up of an odd mix of people or things, often assembled quickly and without proper order.
Ragtag most often describes a group thrown together from whatever people or resources happen to be available, without the training, matching equipment, or discipline of a proper unit or team. It survives from the older phrase ragtag and bobtail, once used dismissively for the poorest of the poor, though the modern word is milder and often even affectionate, as in a ragtag bunch of friends. It can describe an army, a sports team, a committee, or any assembled group that looks improvised rather than organized.
