cupmaster
n.— «Other sage advice included having a “cupmaster,” as Winkler and her roommates call it. A “cupmaster” is someone who is in charge of collecting money and makes sure no one is scamming free beer. The “cupmaster” has to be aggressive and unafraid to ask for money, otherwise it doesn’t work.» —“How to throw a great house party and not get in trouble with the Champaign police” by Christina Peluso in University of Illinois Daily Illini (Urbana-Champagne, Illinois) Sept. 12, 2005.
