    In sports, someone who prefers to take only easy shots. Mildly disparaging.
    A common example comes from basketball, in which a cherry picker is a person who favors short shots, but especially a person who sits in the back court by the basket waiting for an outlet pass on a change of possession, enabling them to score easily before any defenders can reach them.
    The origins of this term may come from the notion of cherry picking as attempting, or picking, only those things that are easily obtained, or only what suits your taste best, as a cherry might.

            Among the other potential definitions for this, a Cherry Picker is also slang to auto mechanics who are actually reffering to an Engine Hoist.
            So when they say that they need a cherry picker, they mean they need an Engine Hoist. These hoists lift out the engines and transmissions (and transaxles) from cars and trucks.
