What does SQUIT mean in Scrabble?
noun
Britishdialectinformal
A small or unimportant person, or foolish talk with no real substance.
Squit covers two closely related ideas that both point at something not worth taking seriously: a person of little standing, and speech that amounts to nonsense. The word is strongest in East Anglian English, where it turns up in everyday put-downs of both people and their chatter. Calling someone a squit dismisses them as insignificant, while calling their words squit dismisses the words themselves as empty or foolish. Outside that regional speech, squit is rarely heard and would need explaining to most other English speakers.
