What does SKINT mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Britishinformal
Having no money at all; completely broke.
Skint is common British informal speech for the temporary state of being out of cash, usually just before a payday rather than long-term poverty. The word likely grew out of skinned, the older slang image of being stripped bare of money the way a skinned animal is stripped of its hide. Friends often use skint casually to explain turning down an outing rather than as a serious complaint about hardship.
