Huckster

Particularly in the United States, a huckster is a pejorative for a person who sells something or serves biased interests, using pushy or showy tactics.
==Etymology==
The original meaning of huckster is a person a who sells small articles, either door-to-door or from a stall or small store, like a peddler or hawker. The word was in use circa 1200 (as "huccsteress") and was spelled ''hukkerye'', ''hukrie'', ''hockerye'', ''huckerstrye'' or ''hoxterye'' at one time or another. The word was still in use in England in the 1840s, when it appeared as a black market occupation. The word is related to the Middle Dutch ''hokester, hoekster'' and the Middle Low German ''höker'', but appears earlier than any of these.〔''Oxford English Dictionary'', 2nd ed. (1989), "Huckster, ''n.''"〕 In the United States, there developed a connotation of trickery – the huckster might trick others into buying cheap imitation products as if they were the real thing.
