What does APER mean in Scrabble?
noun
rare
One who apes, or imitates, the behaviour, speech, or mannerisms of another person.
An aper copies someone else so closely, and often so slavishly, that the copying itself becomes the noticeable thing, whether it is a way of talking, a gesture, or a whole manner. The word is built from the verb ape (to imitate) plus the agent ending -er, and it carries a faint suggestion that the imitation is shallow rather than skilled.
