🏷 English fake job hidden ruler pun spook name · name — by Gerry · Jul 2020 · 211 words

The fake occupation & spook name Taylor / Tailor seems to be a variant of Teller, which means banker. The word is derived from Old English tellan / Old German tellen (zählen, teilen) which means “counting” & “accounting”. It’s no coincidence that the telling of a story is also called an “account”, and that untold wealth is “uncountable wealth”.

Another possibility is that it’s a translation pun (as with Weaver), as in Aramaic both occupations are similar to Shapiro which means “nobleman”. And of course, spooks may have run actual large businesses connected to cloth, only they were the owners and not the workers.
