What does TURBIT mean in Scrabble?
noun
A fancy breed of domestic pigeon with a short beak and a frill of feathers on its breast.
Pigeon fanciers prize the turbit for its round head, stout body and the ruffled frill that spreads down its throat. It was bred for show rather than for meat or message-carrying, and old poultry books list it beside tumblers and pouters. Breeders judge a turbit by the shape of its beak and the neatness of that frill.
