- drook57%
A Scottish and Northern English dialect verb meaning to drench or soak completely — typically used when rain has absolutely ruined your day or someone has dunked you in water. If you've been drookt, you're not just damp; you're soaked to the bone. It's a wonderfully expressive word that captures that specific misery of being caught in a Scottish downpour without an umbrella. Still heard in parts of Scotland, though largely absent from standard English.
