chuffer

Updated: May 14, 2025

Tinka sat beside him in the car, with one hand on the steering-wheel, pretending to help him drive, and he shouted back to his wife, "I'll bet the kid will be the best chuffer in the family! She holds the wheel like an old professional!" All the while he was dreading the moment when he would be alone with his wife and she would patiently expect him to be ardent.

Sinclair Lewis - Babbitt

The plutocrat has his chuffer, a minion of greed and pelf; the poor man must weep and suffer, and drive his own car himself. The plutocrat homeward totters with diamonds to load his girls, and meanwhile my wife and daughters must struggle along with pearls. In silk, with a trademark Latin, the plutocrat's wife appears, and I can afford but satin to tog out my dimpled dears.

Walt Mason - Rippling Rhymes
