Thresher
Someone's last name
A thresher is a machine that separates grain from stalks and husks—the mechanized version of beating harvested wheat with a flail.
The word extends to the thresher shark, which has an extraordinarily long tail it uses like a whip to stun fish.
To thresh is to perform this separating action: They threshed wheat until dark.
