This term "rounder" is still in active use today, here on the NorthWest coast of America. I remember vividly my surprise when, in a conversation with a rather moral and upright lady, she referred to a man we both knew by saying "he's quite a rounder, you know!" My surprise was not the news that he was a rounder, but her use of such an old term and the scorn in her voice. Her clear meaning to me that he is a drinker and a womanizer. This conversation happened perhaps 15 years ago.

I was so disturbed by her scathing comments that I had to rush home and have a drink to calm my nerves. CHEERS, Bob(deckman)Nelson
