a gift for you. enjoy. (this made the job worth it)

squat·ter  - n.
  1. typically a heavy-set adolescent harnessed to bungees, who has neither the muscle mass nor athletic desire to use Newton's 3rd law of motion to propel oneself more than a few inches from the trampoline. the harness will characteristically move upwards from the waist to the chest. as the body sinks lower, legs will be pulled up into the "squatting" position, never to be fully extended until unharnessed. feet may sometimes extend slightly and reluctant toes will gently push off to elevate self no more than 12" from the trampoline. while generally happy, adolescent may grimace and tell you, "This hurts a little." 
          origin: winter park carnies.
