What does GASSER mean in Scrabble?
noun
informalNorth American
Something or someone highly impressive, amusing, or entertaining.
Gasser is mid-twentieth-century American slang praising something as wonderfully funny, exciting, or impressive, as when a joke, a party, or a fast car gets called a real gasser. The word plays on an earlier slang sense of gas meaning a good time, so a gasser is simply a source of that fun. The same spelling also names a well that produces natural gas, but the slang sense is the one still occasionally revived for comic or nostalgic effect.
