What does SHIRT mean in Scrabble?
noun
A garment worn on the upper body, usually with sleeves, a collar and buttons or another front fastening, made of light fabric.
A shirt covers the torso and arms, and can range from a formal dress shirt worn with a suit to a casual short-sleeved shirt worn for everyday comfort. British speakers often reserve shirt for a garment with a collar and buttons, while American usage stretches the word to include almost any upper-body top, blurring the line with a t-shirt. Several common idioms build on the garment: to keep your shirt on means to stay calm, and to lose the shirt off your back means to lose everything one owns. Tailors traditionally measure a shirt by collar size and sleeve length, reflecting how central precise fit is to how the garment is judged.
