Possible missing old slang senses[edit]
John Camden Hotten's Slang Dictionary (1873) also says:
- Occasionally applied to those men who cleanse the sewers, and who wear great boots and sou'-wester hats.
- Those who are employed in banks and counting-houses, in collecting and other out-door duties, have also this appellation.
