(2) The day before, he'd seen the big wooden oyster lugger The Two Sons go by, loaded down, and he'd waved at his cousins Henry and Rene where they sat on the deck sorting what they had dredged up from their lease, even though Henry and Rene had been dead of old age for many years and The Two Sons lay sunk and rotting in Lake Borgne.
Plugger
Definition:
(n.) One who, or that which, plugs.
Example Sentences:

(3) Assuming luck runs their way, the radio plugger can keep the playlisters onside, and social media reminds old fans of the band's existence, the Hoosiers might be able to keep their career afloat.
(4) Because all but one sterilized group had fatigue lifetimes statistically equal to or greater than nonsterilized controls, clinicians generally can use any of the three sterilization methods without fear of plugger failure.
(5) The same was true of all those promo copies, posters, radio pluggers and payola men, producers, publicists, tour support, 8x10 glossies, shipping, freight – basically anything that could be associated with a specific band or record was ultimately paid for by the band, not by the record label.
(6) Three different application techniques were used for the Cermet fillings: 1. syringe only, 2. syringe and amalgam plugger, 3. individual occlusal plugger.

(11) This study did not demonstrate a significant difference statistically in loss of apical seal and leakage between teeth prepared with and those without immediate dowel space preparations with pluggers using a chloropercha filling technique.
(12) Different ways to gain more efficient lateral condensation are studied: plugger and gutta-percha points selection and adaptation, combination with thermomecanical technique or assistance by ultrasonic or thermal systems.
(13) The theory goes that the internet will help artists reach their audiences more directly and make for deeper connections between band and fan; but as yet, self-promotion via social media still lacks the impact of national radio play, and hiring a radio plugger is a must.
(14) Two sources of ultrasonic oscillation were used: a Cavitron 2001 ultrasonic unit with a file in a PR-30 insert and an ENAC ultrasonic unit with a plugger or file.
