What does STOWP mean in Scrabble?
noun
Scotsdialect
A bucket, pail, or drinking vessel used for carrying liquids, chiefly in Scots dialect.
Older Scottish households kept a stowp by the well or the fire for carrying water, milk, or ale. The same word sometimes named a tall drinking vessel or tankard used at the table, not just a container for hauling liquid. Regional glossaries and older Scottish literature preserve stowp long after most speakers switched to bucket or pail in everyday speech. A closely related word, stoup, names a similar vessel and sometimes overlaps with stowp in older texts.
