Gofer
A gofer, go-fer or gopher is an employee who specializes in delivery of special items to their superior(s). The special items may be anything from a cup of coffee to a tailored suit or a car. Outside business the term is used to describe a child or young adult who is learning how to do tasks and is sent to fetch items. A similar job is that of peon in Commonwealth countries. ==Etymology== Gofer is a linguistic simplification of the two words go + for = gofor. Gofor reflects the likelihood of instructions to ''go for'' coffee, dry cleaning, or stamps, or to make other straightforward, familiar or unfamiliar procurements. The term ''gofer'' originated in North America.
