    @glennseto @isaactly_s No no, that's spökesfighter.
    A spokesfighter is a bicycle wheel expert.

        @DekaBlack @isaactly_s well if you rather be a 'fisherist' or 'fishingyperson' go right ahead, but 'fisherfighter' (or 'fishfighter') is a total win in my books.

                              Definitely. If I was ran a garbage truck I would insist on being called a Garbage Fighter.

                                        @isaactly_s Honestly, "garbagefighter" sounds pretty awesome. Way better than "garbage collector" or whatever. Anyway, that term's been coopted by the software industry.
