名詞

slater (複数形 slaters)

1. One who lays slates, or whose occupation is to slate buildings.
2. (Scotland, Australia) Any terrestrial isopod crustacean of the genus Porcellio and allied genera; a woodlouse.
3. A harsh critic; one who slates or denigrates something.
   • 1901, The Critic, volume 39, page 562:

     Plain speaking, now and then, is very necessary. The author will call the critic a “blackguard slater," of course, but he need not be a blackguard. Ferocity of language only hurts his effect.
