Swamper (occupational title)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Swamper is an occupational slang term for an assistant worker (unskilled helper, maintenance person, or someone who performs odd jobs) in support of a skilled worker. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the term has its origins circa 1857 in the southern United States to refer to a workman who cleared roads for a timber feller in a swamp.[1]
