drowner

/ˈdɹaʊnə(ɹ)/

Where it comes from

From drown + -er.

noun drowners

Someone who dies by drowning. With the jumpers and the drowners, McGee, you don't pick up a pattern. That's because a jumper damned near always makes it the first time, and a drowner is usually almost as successful, about the same rate as hangers.
One who drowns another. At eight you thought of boys as cat drowners and bird stoners. At nine there was another reason for boys' existence: they either noticed you or they didn't, and it desperately mattered which.
