goldbricker

So that was all he was - another goldbricker.

WHAT happens when a wayward computer promotes Beetle Bailey, the perennial private and quintessential goldbricker, to the rank of corporal?

GOLDBRICKER Soldier who avoids duty.

He was one of the most successful men of his trade making nearly a quarter of a million dollars using his "gold brick" swindle, a con game which he invented and introduced to New York in 1880, and from which the term "goldbricker" originated.

Trucks like the Arizona Outlaw, Goldbricker, Six Pack, Arizona Sidewinder, Instant Motion, Mud Lord, Mud Pup, Wild Thing, Nasty Habits, Unnamed & Untammed, and the legendary Cyclops were frequent competitors.
