What does SHEEP mean in Scrabble?
noun
A domesticated grazing mammal kept for its wool, meat and milk, known for gathering in flocks and following a leader.
Sheep have been raised by farmers for thousands of years, prized for their thick wool coat as much as for meat and, in some regions, milk used to make cheese. The word sheep is unusual in English because it is the same in the singular and the plural, so one sheep and many sheep both use the identical form. Because sheep instinctively stay close together and follow one another, the word is also used figuratively for people who follow others without thinking for themselves. A young sheep is called a lamb, and a flock is typically managed with the help of trained sheepdogs.
How SHEEP is used
