Posser

Posser

A posser was historically a tool used for "possing" or mixing laundry while hand washing it.

As hand washing has been replaced by electric & mechanical washing machines have become almost universally popular the words & implements have fallen into disuse.

Possers come in various forms, there is usually a vertical pole with a handle bar at the top but the base can be conical, with three (or more) legs or sometimes a flat disk.
