What does STICK mean in Scrabble?
noun
A long, thin piece of wood, typically broken or cut from a tree or bush.
Sticks are among the simplest tools people use, picked up from the ground to poke a fire, support a plant, or serve as a walking aid, and shaped ones become drumsticks, hockey sticks, and chopsticks. Dogs are famously eager to fetch a thrown stick, a game that has become a common symbol of canine playfulness. As a verb, to stick means to fix something in place with glue or a similar substance, or simply to become fixed and unable to move, as when a door sticks in damp weather. The idiom to get the short end of the stick means to be treated unfairly compared with others.
