What does SHROOM mean in Scrabble?
noun
slang
A slang word for a hallucinogenic mushroom, or for the habit of eating such mushrooms.
The word is a clipped form of mushroom and turned up in drug slang during the late twentieth century. It is nearly always plural in practice, as in a bag of shrooms, and it can also act as a verb meaning to take them. Because it belongs to casual speech, a dictionary would label shroom informal at best.
