pilgrim

A state, government or local government employee who is a full-time union official. This individual is nominally e.g. a nurse, teacher or police officer but devotes their working day exclusively to union tasks.

A UK term derived from the publicity associated with Nurse Jane Pilgrim employed by the National Health System as a full-time union official.
Being a pilgrim is not a bad screw. 70 thousand quid a year to do fuck-all but wait for your government pension date to arrive.

1. An uptight, unimaginative, narrow-minded,prudish person. They don't engage in any activities they feel deviate from their norms, mostly because they are insecure about something.

2. Your typical conservative. Against abortion, but has no problem killing innocent children in the war. Hates women, but hates being gay even more. Believes everything the Bible "preaches" about homosexuality but ignores the stuff about love, closeness, togetherness, friendship and tolerance.
Stop being such a pilgrim and French me.

Something you have put into the oven to bake, usually bread or toast, then forgot about until you remove it burned. Bake it until it burns=you've got pilgrim.
I forgot about the garlic bread in the oven. That bread is now pilgrim.

Someone who wants something for nothing.
Like a Pilgrim who came across the ocean he wanted help from the Indians while giving nothing in return.
