What does ASHMAN mean in Scrabble?
noun

The ashman belonged to an age of coal heating, when every building produced heaps of cinders that had to be hauled off. He went from door to door with a cart or a truck and emptied the bins left outside. As coal gave way to oil and gas, the job faded and later became part of general refuse collection.
