British Army slang for a cigarette believed to date from around the time of the Second Boer War 1899 – 1902. A gasper was a high tar cigarette, without any sort of filter tip, such as Woodbine or Capstan. They got the name because smoking caused the troops to gasp for breath when engaged in strenuous exercise.
“I'd just got clipped by a Boer bullet, nuffin' serious, so Jack gimme a gasper while he put a dressing on it.”

The feeling of being in disbelief, slightly amazed and disgusted all at once.
When one is feeling gasperated no one feeling is stronger then the other, it is a balanced mix that really makes you not sure how you feel.

I was so gasperated at the fact she was eating raw chicken meat, that I couldn’t remember what she said her name was.
We were all gasperated that her poo looked like a crippled swan.
I was completely gasperated at the fact someone’s breath could actually smell like that.

Brett French could’ve brought a hot girl home from the bar but he reminded her that he is a Gasper and likes to be choked while fucked.
