What does SLUE mean in Scrabble?
verb
rare
To turn or slide round, especially sideways and in an uncontrolled way; a variant of slew.
When a vehicle or heavy object begins to slue, it swings or skids around a fixed point instead of moving in a straight line, as a car might slue across an icy road or a ship's boom might slue round when the wind catches it. Sailors once used the same word for turning a spar or piece of timber about its axis.
How SLUE is used
Chiefly used of vehicles, vessels, or heavy objects turning out of control; a less common spelling of slew.
- The truck began to slue on the icy bridge.
- A gust made the boom slue round without warning.
- The car started to slue sideways on the wet road.
- Sailors watched the spar slue as the wind changed.
- The wheel locked and the trailer began to slue behind it.
