What does RENIG mean in Scrabble?
verb
Irishinformal
To go back on a promise, agreement or bet, or, in card games, to fail to follow suit when required to do so.
Card players use this verb for one of the clearest rule violations at the table: holding a card of the suit that was led but playing something else instead, whether by mistake or by design. Outside the card table, people also use it more loosely for backing out of any deal, promise or handshake agreement once it becomes inconvenient. The spelling varies a good deal across regions, with renege as the standard form and renig, renague and reneague turning up in Irish and American folk speech.
