compound

Hufvudstadens hamnbusar och roddarmadamer, åkare och fiskköpare, sumprunkare och schåare voro idel civiliseradt folk i jemnförelse med dem — folk med verklig bildning, god ton och ännu bättre manér...

1865, anonymous author, Sekter Klyfverts sommarnöje, page 64:

The capital's dockworkers and rowing ladies, hauliers and fishmongers, corf-rockers and stowadores were ideal civilized people in comparison with them — people with real education, good tone and even better manners ...

I »förmaket» tilltalades han af en poliskonstapel, som sporde hvad yrke han hade.
— Jag är sumprunkare, svarade arrestanten.
— Sumprunkare! utbrast polismannen – det yrket finns ju knappast mera kvar, och för resten är det ett dåligt yrke.

1900 September 15, “Den snarfyndige sumprunkaren [The resourceful corf-rocker]”, in Kläm, page 3:

In the "atrium" he was addressed by a police constable, who asked what profession he had.
– I'm a corf-rocker, the detainee replied.
– Corf-rocker! exclaimed the policeman – that profession hardly exists anymore, and beside it is a bad profession.
