What does TWERP mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
An informal, mildly contemptuous term for a silly, annoying or insignificant person.
Twerp is a casual insult aimed at someone regarded as foolish, irritating or simply not worth taking seriously, though the tone is usually closer to exasperated mockery than genuine anger. It is most often used about a specific annoying individual rather than about groups or in formal criticism, and it fits comfortably in a parent's scolding or a friend's joking complaint. The exact origin of twerp is uncertain, though it has been part of informal English since the early twentieth century. Despite its mild sting, twerp rarely appears in formal or written English outside dialogue and casual commentary.
