“How do they know the vic is a straphanger if she’s in the station?”

That’s what I was thinking. Does “strafanger” refer to anyone riding the subway, or just one whose actually angering the straf?

I thought “straphanger” meant those riding the subway standing up holding onto the handing straps. But maybe it became a colloquial term for all subway riders?
