hitchers
Thumbing roadside travelers
Hitchers is the plural of hitcher—someone who hitches, particularly a hitchhiker.
The word appears most often in contexts about picking up or avoiding roadside travelers: We passed a couple of hitchers on the highway.
Less commonly, hitchers can refer to anything that attaches or fastens to something else.
