What does WHEEN mean in Scrabble?
noun
Scots
An indefinite but fairly large number or amount of something; a good few.
Scots speakers use wheen much as English speakers use quite a few or several, though wheen often suggests a slightly larger or more surprising quantity. The word typically appears before of, as in a wheen of folk or a wheen of trouble, linking it directly to whatever is being counted. Unlike vaguer words such as some, wheen still carries a sense of a definite, if unspecified, sizeable amount rather than just any small quantity. It remains common in everyday Scots and Scottish English conversation, though it is rarely seen in formal writing from elsewhere.
