A caddy. In
golf, a person hired to carry a player'
s clubs, find the ball, etc. Outside of
golf, a person who runs errands, does odd jobs, etc.
From the Bill Murray character (groundskeeper Carl Spackler) in the 1980 movie "Caddyshack", "So I jump
ship in Hong Kong and make my way over to Tibet, and I get on as a looper at a course over in the Himalayas. A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper, a jock. So, I tell them I'm a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama, himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the
grace, bald... striking."
Since the
intern was not busy, I paid him $20 to be my looper for the day. He picked up my dry cleaning,
washed my
car and filed all my reports.
