letters are literally whatever you want to spell.

It probably should be a real word now.

Hell if I know what it actually means though. There's only so much meaning you can glean from a Trump tweet.

IIRC it’s supposed to be coffee

Nope, it was coverage. The tweet was complaining about the msm's reporting on his bs.

I'm not so sure he didn't decide he wanted coffee in the middle of the Tweet and, since he can't stop saying anything that comes into his head, he typed it, but since he's also an idiot, he didn't spell it properly.

Well what I want is an Urban Dictionary Scrabble. If you can’t pull up the article, the word doesn’t count.

I think they are mad because scrabble removed some slurs from the allowed words.

I've played Scrabble for decades and I didn't even know there were any slurs allowed. Never in any game I have ever played do I remember a slur. Not even when playing against a computer. That's how "woke" they've made this new version!

Edit: After some searching, I found out that they only banned the N-word in tournament play in 2020. What the fuck, Hasbro? https://www.dicebreaker.com/games/scrabble/news/scrabble-community-bans-offensive-words

I can guarantee they didn't know it was allowed either.

Right. lol

They never needed that rule before.

I aspire to be the reason a new rule is made.

In fairness, I doubt it came up much... Most people don't like to use slurs in public
