[edit] Usage notesIt has been linked etymologically to the word pikey[1] as well as to Pike County in eastern Missouri [1]. In the latter instance the term originally denoted poor immigrants to California.


[edit] QuotationsThe 2000 film Boiler Room makes reference to "pikers" in the following excerpt:

So now you know what's possible, let me tell you what's required. You are required to work your ****ing *** off at this firm. We want winners here, not pikers. A piker walks at the bell. A piker asks how much vacation time you get in the first year. Vacation time? People come to work at this firm for one reason: to become filthy rich; that's it. We're not here to make friends; we're not saving the ****ing manatees here, guys. You want vacation time, go teach third grade at a public school.

Pikers just upset because he rides a stock sled and has no need for the vast "banter" available to him. Heck his only mod is prolly a cover otherwise he would realize even a mfg "kit" needs "banter" to figure them out most of the time.

Lame.

Clutching solutions are like stinky a-holes.

So are whiney threads like this.

Frankly, whose banter are you complaining about? Dealers or riders?
Dik measuring contests get old, no doubt but when there is a substantive conversation going on it can be a pretty good thing.

"Side note, I've seen Snowrodeo's tunnel bag. It's pretty sweet."

You've seen his T-bag?!?!?

We need snow!
