What does TRASH mean in Scrabble?
noun
Discarded material or waste, such as household refuse or worthless objects; also, informally, something of very poor quality, or a rude and worthless person.
Households in North America typically call their everyday rubbish trash, setting it out at the curb in bags or bins for regular collection, while British speakers more often use the word rubbish for the same material. English also stretches trash figuratively to describe anything judged worthless or badly made, so a critic might dismiss a film or a novel as trash without meaning any literal garbage at all. As a verb, to trash something means either to throw it away or, more forcefully, to damage or wreck it, as when a rowdy party trashes a hotel room. The informal insult trash used for a person carries real force and should be used carefully, since it dismisses someone's character or worth entirely.
