What does WRICK mean in Scrabble?
verb
Britishdialect
To wrench, twist or slightly sprain a joint or muscle.
Wrick is a British dialect word for the small, sudden twisting injury that happens when a joint or muscle is turned awkwardly, similar in meaning to wrench or rick. Someone who wricks a wrist or a neck has strained it slightly rather than broken or seriously injured it, and the discomfort is usually temporary. The word also works as a noun for the injury itself, as in a wrick in the back. Wrick is much less common than its close relative rick and appears mainly in older or regional British speech rather than in national or written standard English.
