specusooner

A financial chance-taker who's a whale of a lot speedier than a "speculater".

Earlybird Oklahomans were classic "specusooners" who bought up land before it was technically legal to do so, but they acquired many prime land-parcels a lot earlier than da "speculaters" who eventually dawdled in after da official start of da Land Run of 1889.
