Dragger can mean several things depending on context. In maritime settings it's a fishing trawler — a boat that drags nets along the ocean floor to catch fish. In automotive culture, a dragger is someone who competes in drag racing, putting their foot down in a straight-line speed contest. More generally, a dragger can be anything or anyone that slows things down or weighs on a situation. The context usually makes it clear which dragger you're dealing with.
The old dragger had been working the Georges Bank for thirty years, hauling cod every season without fail.
