- marshray 13y agoI don't recall ever having seen that in the US.
- kivikakk 13y agoCommon enough in AU!
- kghose 13y agoAlso known as hawkers, eg. street hawker.
- singingfish 13y agoNo, a street hawker is selling you stuff off the street. A spruiker is enticing you to enter a location where stuff is being sold.
- ableal 13y agoI believe that is a tout - as in "touting his wares". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tout http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tout mentions barker (US) and spruiker (AU) as equivalent.
