A panhandler is a person who asks passing strangers for money in the street, often sitting or standing with a cup or an open hand. The activity is to panhandle: to ask for money that way. It is American, and rather informal. British English would more often say beggar, or say that someone is begging. The word can sound cold, as if the person were only a type, so careful speakers sometimes just say someone asking for money. Though actually, a panhandler is not always without a home, and a person without a home is not always a panhandler — the word is about the asking in public, not about where the person sleeps.
