词组 -er -er
释义 -er -er
suffix
a doer (of the verb) AUSTRALIA
Jocular repetitious use of the agent suffix “-er”. Normally only one “er” is used for a compound verb, thus “wash up” becomes “washer-up”. Then, added to both parts of the compound, “washer-upper”. And sometimes, for comic effect, with a third “-er” added to the new compound as a whole, “washer-upperer”. This last especially used by children.

  • Any stories, jokes or photos of life at the pub will be credited to your name in any publication, and the sender-inner elegible for a decent reward. — Bazza and Curly, Betcha Wrong!, p. 75, 1990
