Someone who takes the easier jobs available at work, leaving the more difficultones for their co-worker(s).
Dan is such a cherrypicker. He unpacked all the easy pallets instead of taking from the end of the row during his shift. Now all the difficult ones have been left for me. Great.
1. A hockey player who sits at center ice and doesn't contribute to their team's defense. They hope to pick up a long pass or a loose puck and get a breakaway. Disliked by most hockey players and fans.
2. A boxer who avoids other boxers who might possibly beat him, in order to make a large profit.
1. Martin Havlat is a terrible cherrypicker. He can't even score on his chances.
2. Mayweather Jr only fought fighters he knew he could beat.
