flingers
Those who toss
Flingers are people or things that fling—that hurl or throw with force or abandon.
The term appears most often in compounds: mud-flingers attack reputations, ink-flingers are writers or journalists, hash-flingers serve food in diners.
On its own, flingers suggests casual or energetic throwing: The flingers on the carnival midway tossed rings at bottles.
