Also, E.R.S. -ers, - a semantically empty suffix that creates informal variations of more neutral nouns and adjectives by processes of truncation identical to those of -er 7 (champers;
preggers;
starkers);
unlike that suffix, however, -ers is apparently productive, and words formed with it do not appear to belong to a restricted linguistic register, as university slang.
- compare -s3 perh. a conflation of -er7 with the final element of bonkers and crackers (unless these words themselves contain this suffix)
