What does FAKER mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
A person who fakes something: one who forges or fraudulently imitates an item, or who falsely pretends to be what they are not.
A faker deals in false surfaces, whether that means an art dealer passing off a copy as an original or a stranger passing themselves off as someone with skills or a history they lack. The word is easily confused by ear with fakir, a wandering religious ascetic, but the two share nothing beyond the sound: a faker is defined entirely by deception. Older slang also used faker for a market trader or street performer who dressed up a poor product to sell it, and traces of that carnival sense still colour the word today.
How FAKER is used
