patterer

Where it comes from

From patter + -er.

noun patterers

  1. UK, obsolete, slang Someone who patters, or talks glibly.
  2. UK, obsolete, slang A street peddler. The running patterer cares less than other street-sellers for bad weather, for if he "work" on a wet and gloomy evening, and if the work be "a cock," which is a fictitious statement or even a pretended fictitious statement, there is the less chance of any one detecting the ruse.
