SHAVER
12
Definition
Pronunciation: //ˈʃeɪvə//
noun
- (slang, obsolete) An extortionate bargainer; a sharper."The shaver is an honest friendly man as before: he has a good deal to do to smother his Welsh fire, which, you know, he has in a greater degree than some would imagine. He posts himself a good part of the year in some warm house, wins the ladies money at ombre, and convinces them, that they are highly obliged to him."
- (colloquial) A boy; a lad; a little fellow.""Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen," said the sergeant, "but as I have mentioned at the door to this young shaver" (which he hadn't), "I am on a chase in the name of the King, and I want the blacksmith.""
