clockers
Those measuring duration
Clockers are people who sell drugs on the street, particularly crack cocaine, working shifts like regular employees.
The term comes from working around the clock or clocking in for a shift.
The clockers on the corner scattered when the police car turned onto the block.
The word gained wider recognition through Richard Price's 1992 novel and its 1995 film adaptation.
