What does SHNOOK mean in Scrabble?
noun
informalNorth American
A gullible, hapless person who is easy to fool and more to be pitied than blamed.
Calling someone a shnook is a gently mocking way of saying that he is a timid soul who always ends up with the worst of the deal. The word was borrowed from Yiddish into American English, where it is often used with affection rather than real scorn. A shnook is a victim of his own naivety, not a villain.
