Beloiter

a person sitting at a slot machine

Beloiter

v. intr.
to look around in a state of mild astonishment that your life is somehow still going, as if a part of you had just assumed that your allotment of days would’ve been used up by now, standing there like a player at a slot machine, perpetually surprised that your winnings continue to trickle out, but not sure what you’re supposed to do now.

From to be + to loiter, to hang around someplace with no particular agenda. Pronounced “bih-loi-ter.”
