What does TRIPE mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
The lining of a cow's or other ruminant's stomach, prepared and eaten as food; informally, nonsense or worthless writing or talk.
Cooks in many culinary traditions simmer tripe for hours to soften its rubbery texture before adding it to stews, soups, or spiced dishes, and the ingredient remains a prized part of nose-to-tail cooking in various cuisines. Quite separately, English speakers also use tripe informally to dismiss something as nonsense, as when a critic calls a badly written novel pure tripe. The two senses share no real connection beyond both descending loosely from old words for entrails, yet both remain common in their own contexts today.
