Gaggers

/ˈɡæɡərz/ noun

Definition

Plural of gagger: multiple people who gag, make jokes, or suppress speech; performers who rely on comedic gags.

Etymology

Simple plural of 'gagger' by adding '-s.' The base 'gag' carries the onomatopoetic origin, and the agent suffix '-er' creates the noun, which is then pluralized through standard English morphology.

Kelly Says

When vaudeville was king, 'gaggers' were professional comedy writers who specialized in physical humor and one-liners—they were the professional joke-smiths of their era before comedy became text-based!
