What does BAGMAN mean in Scrabble?
noun
Britishinformal
A person who carries or hands over money on behalf of someone else, often in a shady scheme, or, in older British usage, a travelling salesman.
In the first sense a bagman is a go-between who collects payments, bribes or racket money and passes them up the chain, which is where the bag in the name comes from. The older British meaning was a commercial traveller who carried his samples in a bag from town to town. Newspapers today use the word almost only for the shady courier, and it sounds faintly sinister.
