PLATE CROWDER

A Plate Crowder is a person (an extra) that takes up too much space on the train. As a result of their actions they make my daily essential journey up to London a miserable experience. There is potentially a sexual element to the squeezing into a seat so tight and snug. The term plate crowder comes from baseball where a batter will take up much of the plate making it difficult for the pitcher to get his throw in. It has a ring.
