>>>>>>Nope, that's the "potrcko" (the runabout, literally) or "posrednik" (middleman). Sagovornik is interlocutor in English - but nobody uses that word; I haven't heard it ever, just found it when I was checking. Sa=with, govoriti=speak, so, co-speaker, partner in conversation. Two people who talk are sagovornik to each other.

>>No. It's just a person who takes part in a conversation. The old minstrel shows used to have a guy in the minstrel chorus line who sort of led the conversation. He would ask questions of the others, and they would reply with the joke. He was the interlocutor. I think he was usually the guy in the middle of the line.

I didn't know about the political use of the word. Interesting. And no, you will likely never see it again. Can you imagine a new version of the old Amos and Andy show being made now?
