Windy City Drifter

A person who constantly swerves from left to right while slowly walking on the sidewalk. This behavior often results from a preoccupation with a cell phone, gaping at skyscrapers, or a general lack of awareness.

Windy City Drifters are commonly encountered in crowded areas of Chicago and block the path of walking pedestrians. They have the greatest impact on foot traffic during rush hour but are an annoyance at all times of the day.

It took forever to walk from the train to the office today. There were windy city drifters everywhere. I felt like punchin' someone in the back of the head.

drifter

A person who accepts that they are without a permanent lodging and chooses to travel from place to place with the purpose of not becoming attached to anyone or anywhere thus avoiding commitment and responsibility. Age gender and wealth are not an influence to a genuine 'drifter'.

The itinerary for the drifter is north some days with an open ended no final destination. There are many drifters posting their information on Facebook. The true purest drifters don't need handouts our couches to surf at friends places. They make they way with useful skills.

drifter (Noun)

A person who is using an electronic device (i.e. texting, facebook or any other social media) while walking and not paying attention to their surroundings. They typically drift across the side walk and cutoff or collide with other people on the side walk. They are clueless and seem to be on another planet inside their phones. 99% of the time their heads are down while walking, they only lift their heads to take a sip from the coffee they are usually carrying.

The drifter (Noun) was meandering down the street and almost got hit by a car and then walked into a telephone pole.

Social Drifter

A social drifter is generally someone who travels between different social groups from year to year, never growing attatched to one person or group of people. Every person has their own reason for being a social drifter; some do it because they like to avoid problems, others because they have attatchment issues.

Social drifters never seem to have the same friends for more than a year, nor do they stay within a stereotype for very long either. These people are often confused for a bottom feeder or social climber, but for the most part are nothing close to those. They simply drift in and out of people's lives so that for at least a while they can find friends, however temporary they might be.

Every year I see that kid with a different group of friends. He must be a social drifter, always changing his surroundings.

Drifter

The man who lurks around in the tower, waiting for a tragedy to happen so he can treat it as a minor inconvenience, smoke Gambit 24/7 and beat the shit out of a single jade coin.

Also he used to break engrams for you but then he got lazy.

Hunter: "Drifter my entire fireteam died :("

Drifter: "LOL pleb! Come play Gambit bitch boy."
