What does SLUFF mean in Scrabble?
verb
To discard a card that has no chance of winning the current trick, in games such as bridge or euchre.
A player who cannot follow suit and does not want to spend a useful card will sluff a low card instead, quietly getting rid of it while the trick goes to someone else. Card players use the word as ordinary table talk, distinct from the general verb slough, which describes skin or an outer layer coming away naturally. As a noun, a sluff is the discarded card itself.

Mainly card-game jargon, heard at the table more often than seen in formal writing.
