'Fess Up


How many of you thought they were saying "drifter" instead of "grifter" in this film? I'm guilty for sure.



He who conquers himself is mightier than he who conquers a city.

No, because "grifter" is a common word for ne'er-do-wells seeking to make a quick and dishonest buck.

Sorry. I only heard "Grifter".

Same.

I wonder if it's an age thing. I'm 64 and knew the word grifter. Probably not in common use like it was years ago.
