What does SCAMP mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
A mischievous but usually likeable person, especially a child or young man who behaves in a playful or roguish way.
Scamp is generally used affectionately rather than as a serious criticism, describing someone whose behaviour is cheeky or disobedient without being genuinely harmful. Parents and grandparents often call a naughty but endearing child a little scamp, and the word carries a similar warmth to rascal or rogue. It can also describe an adult whose conduct is somewhat dishonest or unreliable, though even then the tone is usually more amused than angry. The word has an older, less common verb use meaning to do a piece of work carelessly or without proper effort.
