rough rider
noun rough riders
- Used other than figuratively or idiomatically: Something, such as a steam locomotive, that does not travel smoothly when in motion. It is common knowledge that the Stanier Class 5 4-6-0s can be very rough riders at speed, owing to "knock" in the trailing left-hand axlebox, and this tendency would be eased with any lengthening of the cut-off.
- Alternative form of roughrider Our best rough-rider had mounted him, with a view of thoroughly "taking it out of him," and I never witnessed a better display of horsemanship.
