What does SPOUT mean in Scrabble?
verb
To gush out suddenly and forcefully in a stream, or, more informally, to talk at length in a confident or tiresome way.
Water, steam or blood can all spout when pressure forces them out suddenly through a narrow opening, such as a whale spouting a jet of spray through its blowhole or a burst pipe spouting water across a kitchen floor. The same narrow opening gave a teapot or watering can its spout, the small tube through which liquid is poured out in a controlled stream rather than splashing everywhere. Figuratively, to spout opinions, facts or nonsense means to talk on and on confidently, often at a length or with a certainty that begins to tire the listener. The whirling column of spray at sea, known as a waterspout, draws the water upward much like a giant spout.
How SPOUT is used
Common in everyday speech both for liquids gushing forcefully and, informally, for someone talking at length; also the standard word for a kettle or jug's pouring tube.
- A whale surfaced and spouted a tall jet of spray.
- Water spouted from the burst pipe across the floor.
- He filled the kettle carefully through its narrow spout.
- She spouted statistics for ten minutes without pausing.
