How it's used
Originating from the stereotypical image of a man wearing only a trench coat to expose himself, this term is now used as a general label for any flasher or exhibitionist. It carries a strong sense of disgust and is used to warn others of dangerous or predatory behavior in public spaces. While the literal meaning involves a raincoat, the term is applied regardless of what the person is actually wearing.

Common mistake
Do not use this term to describe someone who is simply wearing a raincoat, as it is exclusively used for sexual offenders. Using it to describe a normal person in a raincoat would be highly offensive and confusing.
