What does GASKET mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A flat ring or sheet of soft material placed between two surfaces to seal a joint against leaks.
Engines, pipes, pumps and jar lids all depend on a gasket to keep fluids or gases from escaping where parts meet. Rubber, cork, paper and metal are common materials, chosen for the heat and pressure they must survive. A failed head gasket is a notorious engine fault, and the phrase to blow a gasket has become a way of saying someone lost their temper. Sailors also use the word for a cord that ties a furled sail.

Mechanical term, with a sailing sense and a familiar idiom about losing one's temper.
