What does SWISH mean in Scrabble?
noun
A soft rushing or brushing sound made by something moving quickly through the air or across a surface.
A swish is heard when a long skirt brushes the floor, when a golf club cuts through the air, or when a basketball drops through a net without touching the rim. The word imitates the sound itself, which is why it is classed as onomatopoeic. English also uses swish as a verb for making that same sound while moving, so a dancer's dress can swish across the stage. In informal British speech swish can additionally describe something smart or fashionable, though the sound sense remains the everyday meaning.
How SWISH is used
