What does VROOM mean in Scrabble?
verb
informal
To make a loud roaring sound like a revving or accelerating engine, or to move with such a sound.
Vroom imitates the roar of an engine being revved or a vehicle accelerating quickly, and it is used both as the sound itself and as a verb for moving fast while making that sound. Children often say the word while pushing a toy car, and it appears in writing to suggest speed and noise without spelling out an actual engine description. The informal, playful tone keeps it out of formal writing almost entirely.
