What does STOOGE mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
A person used by someone else to carry out an unpleasant or thankless task, or the straight man who feeds lines to a comedian.
A stooge does someone else's dirty work, often without realising how they are being used, or plays the deliberately dull partner who sets up another performer's jokes. The word began in comedy double acts, where one performer, the stooge, existed to be laughed at or ignored while the other got the punchlines. It later spread into everyday talk about anyone manipulated into taking risks or blame for somebody more powerful.
How STOOGE is used
