pounder
Burger weight descriptor
A pounder is something weighing or delivering a specified number of pounds—almost always preceded by a number: a quarter-pounder is a burger patty weighing four ounces before cooking, a twelve-pounder was a cannon firing twelve-pound balls.
The pattern extends freely: a fish, a baby, a hailstone.
Without a number, pounder usually means something that pounds or strikes repeatedly.
