laugher
One-sided contest result
A laugher is a contest so lopsided it becomes laughable—a blowout where the outcome is clear early and spectators can only laugh at the mismatch: By the third quarter, the game had become a laugher.
The word appears almost exclusively in sports contexts.
Separately, a laugher is simply someone who laughs.
