dodgers
Those who sidestep
Dodgers is the plural of dodger—someone who evades or avoids something: draft dodgers, tax dodgers.
The word suggests deliberate evasion of obligations or responsibilities.
In baseball, the Dodgers refers to the Los Angeles team, originally the Brooklyn Dodgers—named for pedestrians who dodged the city's trolley cars.
