What does RUGRAT mean in Scrabble?
noun
informalhumorous
A small child, especially a crawling toddler, spoken of in a fond or joking way.
Rugrat pictures a small child low to the ground, scrambling across a carpet or rug rather than walking upright, and the compound captures that image directly. Parents and other adults use the word affectionately, often when talking about the mess, noise, or constant motion that young children bring into a household. Though playful, it is not typically used to a child's face as a term of address, more often appearing in conversation among adults describing their own or someone else's toddlers.
