What does ROTGUT mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
Cheap, harsh alcoholic liquor of very poor quality.
Rotgut is used to describe drink so rough or badly made that it seems capable of harming the stomach that swallows it, and the compound word itself paints that picture directly. It is typically applied to inexpensive spirits sold without much regard for smoothness or safety, especially homemade or bootleg liquor. The term carries a joking, exaggerated tone even when the drink in question is genuinely unpleasant, and speakers reach for rotgut more often in complaint or humor than in a neutral description.
