What does SWIPE mean in Scrabble?
verb
informal
To strike at someone or something with a swinging, sideways blow.
A boxer might swipe at an opponent wildly, missing the careful aim of a trained punch. The same verb took on a very different, informal sense meaning to steal, as when someone swipe a snack from a coworker's desk. Modern technology added a third sense, since a user can swipe a finger across a touchscreen or swipe a card through a reader to unlock a door. Context usually makes clear which sense is meant, from a physical blow to a quick theft to a screen gesture.
How SWIPE is used
Common informally for a rough blow, for stealing, and for touchscreen or card gestures.
- The cat tried to swipe at the dangling string with its paw.
- Someone managed to swipe her wallet on the crowded train.
- He had to swipe his badge twice before the door unlocked.
