Durvin commented on the word quockerwodger
A kind of puppet; according to World Wide Words, this is the proper term for "a wooden puppet whose legs and arms were connected only loosely to its body. It was suspended by a single string connected to the head. By jerking the string you could make the puppet flail about in amusing and ridiculous ways." The term is also used as a more colorful way to refer to a politician as a puppet.
