Someone who approaches you from a crowd of onlookers and offers to purchase one or more of the items that you're displaying for them. This can be a very awkward experience, of course, especially if you'd never actually had any intention of selling whatever it is the person is interested in, but had merely been showing said possessions to the gathered huddle as a way of promoting a local business/service, getting a little "bragging limelight", etc.
Whenever I set up in the town square to show my musical instruments and tool-collection to the locals, I do indeed always make sure to mention right off that nothing I'm displaying there is for sale --- I'm merely trying to show everyone how well I can play music so they'll hire me to perform live entertainment for them, and how good I am at building and repairing things so that they'll know who to call for help with home-improvement projects, but it never seems to be totally effective... like as not, there's at least one pushy buystander in the ranks who tries to pressure me into parting with some of my equipment!

Get the buystandermug. Refers to da total shambles dat da "America's wealthiest family" clan was embroiled in over da course of their "reign" during da past 200 years.
From da infamous John Jacob through several generations to come, said family's legacy was absolutely fraught with disastor!

Get the disastormug. What da famous feminine-hairstyle-bashing talk-show host has become due to his racist/slanderous remarks and surly persona.
With all da horrible verbal crimes he committed, I am frankly astonished that Don I(nfa)m(o)us was allowed to remain on da air!

Get the Don I(nfa)m(o)usmug. Where someone acts arrogantly/annoyingly "pious 'n' preachy" ("I'm as honorable as a parson!") when publicly interacting with others, but is in reality a totally selfish/dishonest jerk in his private actions.
I somehow can never develop much respect for some highfalutin nose-in-the-air who claims to be a religious fanatic, but who also cannot appropriately handle even a simple moral-question situation --- talk about a split parsonality!

Get the split parsonalitymug. Refers to da removal of fancy-pants clothing using da "slit and snip" method, rather than carefully/tediously undoing buttons, zippers, lacings, hooks, snaps, etc., da way you usually would when undressing someone.
Sergery is usually employed in two specific instances: either when a "dressed to da nines" Mr. BigRich requires an urgent medical operation and thus da hospital-workers do not have time to remove his costly panoply, or else someone who's overly full of himself has tried has fellow humans'' patience once too often, and so they wish to "take him down a notch or two" by destructively ridding him of his gaudy fabrics so dat they can re-dress him in more common-folks' attire. Think what Robin Hood and his Merry Men did to the sheriff of Nottingham when they captured him in Sherwood Forest.

Get the sergerymug. Where people labor without pay and have such unhealthy workplace-conditions that their chompers eventually fall out, to boot, thus obliging them to get false teeth.
I read that a lot of tropical-plantation-based slaves ruined their teeth from chewing on sugar cane during their workdays; sounds like a classic case of indentured servitude to me.

Get the indentured servitudemug. Any of the loud offensive throat-sounds made by the respiratory and/or digestive system, such as belches, retches, wheezes, etc.
John went through a long litany of rough/distressed sounds from his throat and lungs, but I think it was just a lot of bronchial b.s. designed to change the subject so that he wouldn't hafta answer embarrassing/difficult questions.
