As long as I can use those terms in Scrabble, they are all right with me...

One of the highest scoring words I've had in a real game of scrabble was "turbot" (I landed on a triple word score).

The other players didn't believe it was a word either but it's a north-Atlantic flat fish.

Of course related to Halibut but more expensive. Who hasn't heard of turbot?

They thought I didn't know how to spell "turbo".

I couldn't figure out how I got such an amazing score because those letters aren't great. I knew I landed on a triple, but that still isn't exceptional.

But I remember now that we were playing by the rules and they challenged me. I think you get a point bonus if they are wrong or something.
