What does TACHE mean in Scrabble?
noun
informalBritish
An informal British word for a moustache.
Tache is simply a clipped, everyday form of moustache, used in casual British speech much as specs stands for spectacles. It usually appears in a light or joking tone, describing anything from a thin, well-groomed line above the lip to a large, bushy growth. An older and unrelated sense of tache, found in older translations of scripture, refers instead to a clasp or hook used for fastening two parts of a garment or covering together. Only the moustache sense survives in ordinary modern speech.
