What does SQUAT mean in Scrabble?
verb
To crouch close to the ground by bending the knees fully, or to occupy a building or land without legal right.
To squat is first of all a bodily action, lowering the body toward the ground with the knees bent and the weight on the feet, a position used in exercise, gardening and rest alike. The same verb describes settling on land or in a building that belongs to someone else and that one has no legal claim to occupy. A related adjective describes anything built low and thick rather than tall, sharing the sense of being pressed close to the ground.
