understrapper

Even the Spanish are sending only a ministerial understrapper.

The understrapper understood, but he didn't disagree.

This day the task fell to editorial understrapper CMJ.

He is perhaps best known for his series of spy novels which follow Harry Fielding's activities as an understrapper for the MI5.

I spent some hours in a newspaper office getting nothing, not even any change, out of an understrapper who had learnt his English in Enfield, and wondering less and less intermittently what time the public parks shut.
