itinerant worker
Sum of parts? An itinerant: worker:? SemperBlotto (talk) 17:22, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Doesn't meet strict def. of set phrase ("itinerant farm worker"). Might have a legal definition somewhere. DCDuring TALK 18:30, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
 * The anon who was editing it recently had a California legal definition in mind. I think it's SoP but we seem to have some entries that are purely echoing legal definitions from certain states' law (I couldn't find any examples, but I know we have them: it's stuff like non-dairy creamer, as defined by legislation). If we must have those (which I dislike) then this could be one. Equinox ◑ 20:50, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Our coverage of this class of sense will probably remain quite thin for a long time. The entries that make it here are probably only those that have gained some currency as a result of public policy controversy. Perhaps we can help shed light on the controversies.

"In context, either a politically correct term for unemployed, or a racial slur for the homeless". This seems like it should be in with the definitions, but of course there's no such thing as a racial slur for the homeless, the homeless aren't a race no more than cat owners are a race.

 * I changed "racial slur" to "derogatory term", but I can't say I've ever heard it used this way. I only know the definition currently labeled "colloquial, Southern California" (and I strongly doubt it's restricted in either of those ways) and would consider it a near-perfect synonym of migrant worker. —Angr 09:32, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
