What does SPREE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A short period of enthusiastic, uncontrolled activity, especially spending money or indulging in some pleasure.
A spree suggests losing normal restraint for a short burst of time, most often heard in shopping spree, describing someone who buys far more than usual in one outing, spurred on by excitement rather than careful planning. The word also attaches to darker behaviour, as in a crime spree or killing spree, a short, intense burst of repeated wrongdoing rather than a single isolated act. Whatever the activity, a spree is understood to be temporary, a departure from someone's normal, more measured behaviour rather than a lasting change. The word likely comes from Scots dialect for a lively celebration or spell of merry-making, a sense that survives faintly in the enthusiastic, almost giddy tone the word still carries.
How SPREE is used
Common in everyday speech, most often paired with shopping, but also used for other short bursts of intense, unrestrained activity, including criminal behaviour.
