One who picks cherries. Professionally disposed, therefore to encounter cosmetically-enhanced elephants in trees, Jon Bon Jovi dangling around in spandex and that creature of the Basel Committee on Bank Supervision’s blackest nightmare, the hypothetical mendacious insolvency administrator, poring in the dead of night though the swap confirmations of undead corporations feeding on the blood of juicy in-the-money exposures.

Similar in disposition to one who recharacterises.
