Carney has a perfect last name for him.
Carney is slang for a person who works in a carnival. Since the carnival is often built on deception of it’s customers, a Carney is slang in Britian for one who coax’s or cajoles you by guile or false pretenses.
Carney reminds me of a guy I went to High school with.
He was always acting like he didn’t know his exact sexual preferences-—mid 50’s. Sorta trying to wire walk the barbed wire fence.
He couldn’t perform in any of the sports my high school excelled in.
He got as close as he could in trying out for the cheer leading squad-—but he didn’t get that assignment, either.
