carni
Traveling show worker
Carni is informal shorthand for a carnival worker—someone who operates rides, runs games, or works the midway at traveling fairs and amusement parks.
The term carries connotations of transient lifestyle and outsider status: The carnis packed up overnight and moved to the next town.
Sometimes spelled carny.
