hatchet man
A person who performs nasty tasks for his or her superior, such as firing subordinates, attacking the character of a political opponent, spreading rumors about a competitor, or the like. The term, so used since the 1940s, was applied particularly in politics and journalism, and the work
so performed was also called a hatchet job. The magazine Newsweek had it on
July 27, 1968: “He’ll be the hatchet man . . . just like Nixon was in 1952.”
It also is used in other contexts, for example, “This critic did a real hatchet
job on her concert.” A related term is character assassination, dating from
about 1950, but it is no longer heard as often.
