hazer
/ˈhāzər
/noun North American
1A person engaged in forcing a new or potential recruit to the military, a college fraternity, etc., to perform strenuous, humiliating, or dangerous tasks: the hazers would dunk us under the water for a short time before allowing us to come up for air...
- He's a bully, a hazer, and a racist, a full-on pig.
- This does not deflect responsibility on those who beat him but it does assert that both the hazer and hazees both were equally wrong in their actions.
- Hazing degrades and risks physical and emotional harm because of the hazers' need to feel powerful and in control.
2A person who drives cattle while on horseback: the role of a good hazer in a winning steer wrestling run cannot be overstated...
- He positions his horse to the left of the steer and his partner, the "hazer," is to the right of the steer.
- One team member (the hazer) in the steer-wrestling event rides his horse to help control the running path of the steer.
- It is very important for the hazer to keep the steer close to the bulldogger so that he can lean out of his saddle to grasp the steer's right horn.
