To laugher?
Leave it to the post to use the weirdest words for everything. Only place I regularly see the word ‘slay’.

Laugher is a informal term used in sports to signify a non competitive blowout.

I know what it means, my point is that it is not a common term and it sounds weird. I have never heard a human being use 'laugher' in conversation or in non-print media regarding sports.
​
Blowout, on the other hand, is a common term.

That’s a valid argument. I was mainly refuting the point that only the Post would use a term like “laugher”… which is clearly not true.
Guess it’s one of those words that people only use in writing and not verbally.

I’m honestly surprised any one else has been using it. The post always has a few weird words in there that make it sound like dialog from a black and white movie from the 40s.
Just came over the wire, the gallant boys in blue slay boomtown rival in grid iron laugher. Read it in the papes over a malted at the five and dime.
