What does SCUFF mean in Scrabble?
verb
To scrape or drag the feet along a surface, or to mark and roughen a surface by rubbing against it.
To scuff your shoes is to scrape their surface against the ground, leaving a rough, whitened mark rather than a clean scratch. People also scuff their feet when walking without lifting them properly, producing a dragging sound on the floor. The noun form names the mark itself, so a scuff on a shoe or a table refers to the small area of surface damage caused by this kind of rubbing contact.

Common in everyday speech about shoes, floors and furniture, and also used as a noun for the mark itself.
