Termite

1.
A term for rural poor / destitute people who see trees or lumber in your yard, and beg for the privilege of doing something you didn't really need done.

2.
A non-professional sketchwad who shows up at your house and offers to cut up downed trees.

3. Unemployed laborer who drives around trying to find wood and turn it into food.

"So what happened today, Dad?"

"Oh, some termite pulled up and asked me if he could cut up that tree for $300. I told him no, so he told me this story about how he was working on a logging deck, and a load shifted and some log fell on his skull- and damn if he didn't have a big dent in his skull. So I gave him $20, and he left.
