dasher
Ice cream agitator
A dasher is someone or something that dashes—moves quickly or strikes forcefully.
The term appears most often for the paddles inside a churn that agitate cream into butter, or for the boards surrounding an ice hockey rink that players crash into.
In American usage, Dasher is familiar as one of Santa's reindeer from the poem "A Visit from St.
Nicholas." The dasher kept the milk moving until it separated. (Capitalized Dasher is one of Santa's reindeer, or a proper name.)
