mashers

Spud-crushing kitchen gadgets

Mashers is the plural of masher, which has two distinct meanings.

A masher is a kitchen tool for mashing potatoes or other soft foods: She grabbed the potato masher from the drawer.

Separately, masher is dated slang for a man who makes unwanted sexual advances toward women, especially in public places—a Victorian-era term for what might now be called a creep or harasser.
