What does POPPER mean in Scrabble?
noun
Something or someone that pops, such as a press stud or a container for making popcorn.
A popper is anything that makes a popping sound or action, so the word covers quite different things. In British English it is a press stud, the small snap fastener on a child jacket or a baby clothing, and a popcorn popper is a pan or machine used to cook the kernels. Fishermen call one kind of artificial lure a popper too, because it splashes on the surface of the water. The name of the philosopher Karl Popper is a separate proper noun and is not this word.
