What does UNS mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
People or things called ones, in an informal spelling used chiefly after an adjective, as in the little uns.
Un is how the word sounds when nobody stresses it, and writers use the spelling to catch that: the little uns, the young uns. It belongs to dialogue and to dialect writing, and the plural is far commoner than the singular because the phrase nearly always counts people.
