keeners
Hired funeral criers
Keeners is Canadian slang for people who are excessively eager or enthusiastic, especially students who try too hard to impress teachers or bosses who volunteer for extra work: The keeners always sit in the front row.
The term carries mild derision—keeners are seen as annoyingly earnest rather than admirably diligent.
