Meaning and background
The story behind Scoop
Scoop is a familiar English noun for a utensil used to lift food or other material, and for the portion collected in one motion. Journalism also uses it for an exclusive story. Both senses are real, but neither proves that a pet owner was thinking about ice cream or newspapers. The one-syllable word is easy to call across a room; the meaning should stay grounded in the dictionary rather than expanded into a personality trait.
- Meaning
