They used to go around waking people up in mostly the north of England, with their long poles to tap on windows or some even used pea shooters.

These days the term is likely to refer to a young man with a pair of sugar lips that can sweet-talk the gullible young ladies and once he’s impregnated them he moves on to greener pastures for his next pursuit.

@Raine I knew a lady who’s granddaughter got pregnant by one of those. By the time he was 22 he had impregnated at least 20 girls. No way in hell he could support all those children....

@cherokeepatti we had one who kept going on TV here boasting about it, even though he didnt know the 20+ kids names. While the presenter turned his back to ask someone else a question, this breeding machine handed a girl in the audience his number.
