What does SCRAG mean in Scrabble?
noun
Britishinformal
A thin, bony person or animal, or the lean end of an animal's neck used as a cheap cut of meat.
Butchers once sold the scrag as the bony neck section of mutton or lamb, a cut prized more for stewing than for its tenderness. Away from the kitchen, the same word can describe a thin, undernourished person or animal, calling a scrawny creature a scrag by drawing on the idea of visible bone and little flesh. The two senses share the same picture of leanness, whether on a plate or in a body. British informal speech also turns scrag into a verb meaning to seize someone roughly by the neck.
How SCRAG is used
