MLE (Multicultural London English) slang for a drug dealer — specifically someone who sells drugs on the street, often in a housing estate or urban neighborhood. The term is deeply embedded in UK grime, drill, and rap culture, and has spread through music into broader youth slang. A shotter operates at the street level of the drug trade, and the word carries the gritty realism of inner-city life that characterizes the music scenes that popularized it. Widely recognized across UK youth culture today.
