What does SLICE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A thin, flat piece cut from something larger, such as bread, meat, cheese or cake.
A slice is produced by drawing a blade across food in a single smooth cut, leaving a flat, even piece that can be lifted away from the rest without crumbling. Bakers and cooks talk about a slice of almost anything solid enough to cut this way, from a loaf of bread to a wedge of pie, and the same word extends naturally to a single portion or share of something non-edible, as in a slice of the profits. In golf and other ball sports, a slice names a very different thing, a shot that curves sharply off its intended line because of unwanted spin struck into the ball. A kitchen slice can also refer to the flat, broad utensil used to lift and serve food such as fish or cake.
How SLICE is used
Everyday in cooking and general speech for a cut piece or a share; a separate technical sense names a curving shot in sport.

- He offered his guest the last slice of cake.
- The company kept only a small slice of the overall profit.
