What does DOZER mean in Scrabble?
noun
rare
One who dozes, someone who naps lightly or drifts in and out of sleep.
A dozer is simply a person caught napping, someone who dozes off in a chair, on a train, or during a dull meeting. The word is built directly from the verb doze plus the everyday agent ending -er, so English speakers can decode its meaning at a glance. In casual modern speech the same spelling is also shortened from bulldozer, a heavy construction machine, though that sense sits apart from the sleepy meaning here.
