One who or that which repeats.

The pimps and the panders, the cadets and maquereaux… they vote the ticket of the organization; they contribute to the campaign funds; they serve as colonizers and repeaters at the polls.

  • “That industry deserves all the shame that can be sent their way. They flagrantly ignore security issues that are 100% predictable. You should not be able to hack a car through it’s headlights! Or use a wireless signal repeater to unlock a car.”

(education) A student repeating a course, class, or grade.

For parents

Repeater means: A student repeating a course, class, or grade.. There is no real cause for parental concern; it is descriptive vocabulary rather than risky behaviour. It is an education-system term, so usage is institutional and routine. If your teen uses it, context will usually make the intent clear. A short, curious question about where they heard it is usually all that is needed to know whether to follow up.

For ESL learners

repeater means: A student repeating a course, class, or grade.. Register: neutral, standard English. A common learner mistake is using the word in a register it does not fit, or assuming a single global meaning; native speakers immediately notice when slang appears in formal contexts, so always check the surrounding register before producing it yourself. A formal-English equivalent (a synonym or descriptive phrase) is usually safer in writing. When in doubt, paraphrase rather than reuse the slang form.
