n. A friend who know's where your secrets are hidden such as drugs, porn, mistresses or illegal activities and upon your death will clean out all evidence of your bad habits before your family finds out about your "other side". He's called a "shovel man" because once he has all the evidence he's supposed to bury it where no one will find it.
I'm not worried about Darla finding my porn stash if this plane crashes, my shovel man, Steve's got that covered.
