poler
When I was at school in Tasmania a Poler was the term applied to some one who was slacking, usually when participating, or being forced to participate in some communal task. I understand that was derived from bullock teams, where the beasts yoked at the rear of the team, either side of the wagon pole, could easily give the appearance of pulling hard when all they were doing was supporting the pole: Come on you selfish poler, do your share of the cleaning up or we'll never be allowed out to play.
