panhandler posture

That special stance a panhandler takes on, whether destitute or not, in order to appear more pathetic.

He stood slumped and nearly lifeless at the stoplight with a sad sign in his two grubby hands, but later I saw him walking downtown with some friends, with no hint of the panhandler posture I’d seen earlier.
