It does occur to me that such a requirement could be a useful house rule in a classroom setting, so I suspect that this is nothing more than such a house rule that my friend learned from a teacher in school. Has it ever been a rule in Scrabble that a player must be able to demonstrate knowledge of the definition of or ability to use a word in order to be allowed to play it? In other words, if I know that a word exists but either do not know what part of speech it belongs to or how it is defined, am I allowed to play it? "The scavenger decided to retrash the old cups that he found in the trash can after he found out that they had holes in them." To discard an item as trash that was previously salvaged from a trash receptacle or dump. "The construction worker used plywood to assemble the compont." Not only do I need to come up with a word that looks like a reasonable word but also come up with a plausible definition for it. This "rule" makes it much harder to intentionally bluff with a fake word.
