What does TWINGE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A sudden, brief, sharp pain, or a short sharp pang of feeling such as guilt or regret.
A twinge comes and goes quickly, which is what separates it from an ache that lingers. People speak of a twinge in the knee after a long walk, and just as often of a twinge of guilt or envy that passes almost at once. As a verb it describes a part of the body giving that kind of sharp, momentary pain.
