Signification de "spiv" dans le dictionnaire anglais

Au Royaume-Uni, le mot spiv est un argot pour un type de petit criminel qui traite des produits illicites, typiquement noirs. Le mot a été particulièrement utilisé pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale et dans la période d'après-guerre où de nombreux produits ont été rationnés en raison de pénuries. La spiv était essentiellement non-violente et a été décrite comme la première sortie de la porte quand une bagarre a éclaté, au cas où son apparence devenait irrégulière. In the United Kingdom, the word spiv is slang for a type of petty criminal who deals in illicit, typically black market, goods. The word was particularly used during the Second World War and in the post-war period when many goods were rationed due to shortages. The spiv was essentially non-violent and has been described as the first out of the door when a fight broke out, in case his appearance became ruffled.
