What does SUAVE mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Smoothly polite, confident, and charming in manner, sometimes to the point of seeming insincere.
A suave person moves through social situations with an easy, polished charm, always seeming to know the right thing to say and never appearing awkward or flustered. The word often describes salesmen, diplomats, or film characters whose confidence borders on slickness, hinting that the charm might be a little too smooth to be entirely trusted.
