slicker
Oilskin rain gear
A slicker is a long waterproof coat, originally oilskin, worn in rainy weather.
The word also means a swindler or smooth operator—someone slick enough to deceive others.
City slicker describes an urban sophisticate, usually from a rural perspective and often with mild contempt: Those city slickers don't know a thing about farming.
