barrow-boy
Pushcart produce seller
A barrow-boy is a street vendor who sells goods from a barrow—a wheeled cart or handcart.
The term is chiefly British and evokes traditional market traders hawking fruit, vegetables, or other wares.
By extension, barrow-boy can describe someone with the loud, pushy manner associated with street selling: He had the charm of a barrow-boy.
