What does STRUT mean in Scrabble?
verb
To walk in a stiff, proud, and confident manner, usually with the chest out and the head held high.
To strut is to turn an ordinary walk into a small performance, chest forward and steps deliberate, as if inviting others to notice. The word carries a hint of vanity or self-satisfaction that a plain word like walk or stride lacks, so someone who struts is usually showing off rather than simply moving from place to place. A rooster strutting across a farmyard gave English one of its most familiar images of the word. Strut also names an unrelated noun, a rigid bar or rod that holds two parts of a structure apart, a sense that shares only the spelling with the walking verb.
