What does WEEST mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Scotsdialect
The dialect superlative of the Scots word wee, used to mean the smallest or tiniest of all in a group.
Scots and northern English speakers grade wee the same way standard English grades small, moving from wee to weer and finally to weest for the smallest of all in a group. A parent picking out the weest kitten from a litter is choosing the very smallest one present, with no larger examples being compared. The form appears mainly in dialect speech and in older or regional written English, rarely surfacing in formal writing outside quotation or deliberate dialect representation. Because wee itself is a dialect word, weest carries the same regional flavour, marking the speaker as using Scots or a related northern dialect rather than standard English.
