What does TSURIS mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
Trouble, grief, or aggravation, especially the ordinary, wearing kind that piles up over time.
Tsuris describes the accumulated hassle of daily life, from money worries to family arguments, rather than one single catastrophe. The word comes from Yiddish, itself drawing on the Hebrew word for troubles, and reached English mainly through Yiddish-influenced American speech. It is also spelled tsoris, an equally common variant of the very same word. Someone complaining about tsuris usually expects a wry, sympathetic nod rather than genuine alarm.
How TSURIS is used
