What does penpal mean?
- English (UK)
It means someone in another part of the world that you talk with using some form of writing. The turm comes from when writing letters was the only way of long distance communication so, naturally, they had to use pens. And since pal is a slang word for friend, penpal was used as a short way of saying "a friend that I write to".
