  1. A skater (person who skates), especially a skateboarder or rollerskater.

    One of our townsmen, who was just flattering himself with the idea of having acquired some proficiency as a skatist while making a round on the rollers, at the Pavilion got himself into an ungainly 'posish,' when the skate he was for the instant turning upon in a twinkling left him in the lurch.
