What does SARGE mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
An informal, shortened way of addressing or referring to a sergeant.
Sarge is the casual form soldiers, police officers, and firefighters use for a sergeant, especially when speaking directly to him or her rather than using the full rank. The shortened word feels friendlier and less formal than sergeant, fitting the easy familiarity of everyday barracks or station talk. Fiction and film borrow sarge heavily to give dialogue a realistic, informal military or police tone. Despite its casual sound, the word carries no disrespect and is often used with genuine affection or respect.
