What does SIRRAH mean in Scrabble?
noun
archaic
An old term of address for a man or boy, used to show contempt or authority over him.
Sirrah began as a twisted form of sir and was spoken by a master to a servant, a parent to a lad, or an angry speaker to someone beneath him in rank. Shakespeare and other Elizabethan dramatists use it constantly, so a modern reader meets it almost only on the stage or in old novels. The tone is always sharp: it commands rather than asks.
How SIRRAH is used
Archaic; appears in historical drama and fiction, not in current speech.
