Meanings
plural billstickers
- Someone who sticks up advertisements on billboards, walls, and similar surfaces.
Who's that with you? I saw him a few times in the Bleeding Horse in Camden street with Boylan the billsticker. You might put in a good word for us to get me taken on there. I'd carry a sandwichboard only the girl in the office told me they're full up for the next three weeks, man.
