presser

Iron-wielding laundry worker

A presser is a press conference, especially in journalism and sports: The coach held a presser after the game.

The term is informal shorthand common among reporters and publicists.

Separately, a presser is a person or device that presses—someone who irons clothes professionally, or a machine that applies pressure.
