| Aug 12, 2022 at 14:20 | comment | added | James K | I suggest you read through all the examples in the Wiktionary definiotn of -er "six-wheeler" is sense 4, and "weekender" is sense 5. | |

| Aug 12, 2022 at 12:34 | comment | added | thony albuquerque | how about "weekender"? I mean it is not optional that someone won't go through weekender, so how to distinct the "weekender" situations? | |
