Winger
Edge-playing forward position
A winger is a player positioned on the side of the field in sports like soccer, hockey, and rugby—tasked with attacking along the flanks and delivering crosses or passes toward the center.
In politics, a winger is someone with strong views on one end of the spectrum: a right-winger, a left-winger.
The political sense often carries a dismissive edge.
