What does SIREE mean in Scrabble?
interjection
informalNorth American
An emphatic word tacked onto yes or no for added force, as in yes siree or no siree, roughly equivalent to indeed or for sure.
Siree carries no independent meaning of its own; it exists only to intensify the yes or no it follows, giving a folksy, old-fashioned emphasis to a statement. Writers often reach for yes siree or no siree bob to give dialogue a homespun, countrified flavor, especially in American storytelling. The word likely grew out of an exaggerated pronunciation of sir tacked onto an answer for emphasis, and it has stayed almost entirely in this fixed pairing ever since.
How SIREE is used
Informal and distinctly American in flavor, almost always paired with yes or no rather than used alone.
