bunters
Short-game batters
Bunters is the plural of bunter, a term with different meanings depending on context.
In baseball, bunters are batters who bunt—tapping the ball softly into play rather than swinging fully.
In British dialect and older slang, a bunter is a woman of low status, sometimes a rag-picker or a prostitute.
The word also appears in geology, where Bunter refers to a division of Triassic sandstone formations in Europe.
