Strictly speaking, a fettler is one who "Grinds and sands ceramic products". However, in a modern day context, we have come accept the term as meaning: one who engages in unsanitory or socially unacceptable practices, such as molestation of young boys and generally caressing things that ought not to be caressed.

"Those fettlers are dying out."
"Yeah?"
"There’s not any less of them, dying out is just their style."
