giggers

Pronged spear users

Giggers are people who work gigs—short-term, freelance, or contract jobs rather than permanent employment.

The term emerged with the gig economy: Uber drivers, TaskRabbit workers, and other giggers lack traditional benefits.

Giggers may also be people who attend live music performances or, less commonly, those who gig frogs with a pronged spear.
