What does GAGGER mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
In a foundry, a bent iron rod set in a sand mould to hold the sand in place while metal is poured.
A gagger is a humble piece of foundry equipment: moulders bury it in the sand so that a hanging or thin section does not crumble when molten metal is poured. The word is built from gag in its sense of something that holds or props, rather than from the sense of choking. In everyday speech the term is far rarer than the tool it names.
