What does SLUSH mean in Scrabble?
noun
Snow or ice that has begun to melt into a soft, watery, muddy mixture.
Slush forms as fallen snow begins to melt, leaving a soft, grey, waterlogged mess that soaks through shoes and slows down foot and vehicle traffic alike. The word extends easily to any comparable soft, watery mixture, including mud or a slurry of grease and fat collected during cooking. Informally, slush also describes writing or speech considered overly sentimental, as in slushy love letters, because both share a soft, formless quality. Publishers even use the related term slush pile for unsolicited manuscripts, treating the submissions as an unsorted, undifferentiated mass.
