What does HAZER mean in Scrabble?
noun
North American
In rodeo, a rider who gallops alongside a steer to keep it running straight for a partner to wrestle to the ground; more generally, a person who subjects newcomers to harsh or humiliating initiation tasks.
In steer wrestling, the hazer takes the horse on the far side of the running steer, matching its speed so the animal cannot swerve away from the bulldogger who will grab and throw it; without a skilled hazer the event could not work safely. The same word is used more broadly, and less kindly, for someone who forces recruits through rough hazing rituals.
