What does SNOUT mean in Scrabble?
noun
The long projecting nose and jaws of an animal such as a pig, dog or crocodile, or a similarly shaped projecting part.
The snout is the front part of an animal's head that carries the nostrils and mouth, often extended and mobile, as when a pig roots in mud with its snout. Beyond animals, the word is used loosely for anything shaped like this projecting part, such as the pointed front of an aircraft or a tool. In British slang it can also mean a police informer, a very different sense that developed from the idea of someone who sniffs out information.
