What does SALOON mean in Scrabble?
noun
A place where alcoholic drinks are served, or, in British English, a car with an enclosed body and a separate boot.
In American usage a saloon is above all a bar, especially the swinging-door drinking establishments associated with the Old West, though the word also covers any large public room set aside for a particular purpose. British English took the word in a different direction, using saloon for a car with a fixed roof and a separate boot, what American English calls a sedan. Ocean liners once called their grandest public lounge the saloon, a spacious room for dining, cards, or conversation among first-class passengers. All three senses share the idea of a large enclosed space set apart for a specific social use.
