由push（推）联想：把毒品推给别人的“推手”就是毒贩，也指爱出头的人。
语域：mixed 常见场景：口语中指毒贩、新闻报道中涉毒语境、中性描述指推者/推动者 pusher 的具体词义不同，语气也不同：指“毒贩”时通常是非正式用词，多用于口语或新闻报道；指“推者/推动者”时则是中性描述。选用语气时需先判断句中的词义。
这些词都以 -sher 结尾，但不与 pusher /ˈpuʃə/ 押韵，因为重读元音不同：usher /ˈʌʃə/、crusher /ˈkrʌʃə/、blusher /ˈblʌʃə/、fisher /ˈfɪʃə/、fresher /ˈfreʃə/、gusher /ˈɡʌʃə/。注意拼写相似，读音不同，不可按拼写推断发音。
