Get the Wild Google Chase mug.Ambulance Chaser
An Ambulance Chaser is a term for an unethical lawyer, especially those who represent plaintiffs in personal injury actions.
Origin
The term is derived from lawyers who follow ambulances to hospitals after a person is injured, usually determined through the lawyer's use of a personal police/fire radio scanner, in order to attempt to drum up business by convincing a victim that he or she needs to sue, or by simply being the first lawyer in contact with the victim, generally when the victim is most prone to suggestion and easily talked into suing.
In most jurisdictions, lawyers can be disbarred if caught engaging in such unethical behavior. Bar associations regularly dispatch investigators to large-scale disaster scenes to look out for unethical lawyers or their non-lawyer agents (known as "cappers" or "runners").

Good Example of Ambulance Chaser:
A lawyer who comes to a classroom and asks the students who were bullied to sue the bully for intentional infliction of emotional distress, so he in turn can receive a large contingency fee.

Get the cease and desist mug.someone who dates a lot of trans people
often a john or sugar daddy who's convinced themselves that they can have their cake and eat it too without being out of the closet. even when acting a perfect gentleman, chasers can't help dehumanizing or fetishizing their trans dates, because they're not being honest about their own needs. because they're so thirsty, chasers are the #1 provider of material support for trans girls outside of Lyon-Martin.
also used within trans circles to signal that someone's dating habits are ethically questionable, ie. they /only/ date trans women but not cis women, or they date cis women and femme trans men but not trans women — aka invalidating trans identities while simultaneously claiming allyship.
shortened from tranny chaser by trans women to remove the distasteful slur and focus on naming the offense.
