What does TIRRIVEES mean in Scrabble?
noun
dialectScots
Tantrums or fits of temper, in the plural.
Tirrivee is Scots and carries a note of performance: it names the display of rage rather than the anger underneath, which is why it usually turns up with a verb like throw or take. The spelling wanders, and tirrivees and tirrivies both appear, because the word travelled in speech far longer than in print.
