nobbier

A nobbier — one who collects pennies for a beggar.

Down and Out in Paris and London 2004

'We have all the normal sort of troubles - we've caught a would-be nobbier in the stables, the lights on the Tote board have fused and there's a man down in Tattersalls having a heart attack - and we also have Rebecca creating the father and mother of a stink because there are no hangers in the women jockeys' changing tent. '

Decider Francis, Dick 1993
