SCOWP is valid in Collins, not in North America — 12 points

What does SCOWP mean in Scrabble?
verb
Scots
To bound or leap about in a light, springy way, a meaning kept alive in Scots speech.
Scowp names the light, bouncing kind of jumping that a child or a small animal makes when it capers about a yard or a field. It is also spelled scoup in some Scots texts, but the meaning does not change between the two spellings. The word survives mainly in Scottish dialect writing and in descriptions of playful movement rather than in standard English prose, and it has no exact single-word match in mainstream English.
