minus-square@Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilink2•1 year agoInteresting, I feel like you see “grafter” basically not at all today in comparison with “grifter.”
minus-square@Sadbutdru@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilink1•1 year agoI still hear 'graft ’ as a noun to mean corruption/bribery her in the UK (tho it’s a bit old fashioned). But if you call someone a ‘grafter’ it usually means they’re good at physical labour.
