What does LAGGER mean in Scrabble?
noun
British
Someone who lags behind, taking longer to finish or arrive than the rest of a group.
A lagger is the person at the back of the pack, whether that means the slowest runner in a race, the last student to finish an exam, or simply whoever falls behind on a walk. In British trades, the same word has a second, quite different sense: a lagger is a worker who wraps pipes and boilers in insulating material, a job known as lagging. Context usually makes clear which lagger is meant, the straggler or the tradesman, since the two senses rarely appear together.
How LAGGER is used
Mainly British; used both informally for someone who falls behind and, more specifically, for a tradesman who insulates pipes.
- The coach waited patiently for the last lagger to cross the finish line.

- Nobody wanted to be the lagger on the school hiking trip.
