To lay shingles on a roof; also, to cut hair.
1857. I’m great on cutting hair. I don’t s’pose when you come right down to the real thing, there’s anybody in the settlement can shingle like me…. By the way, don’t you want your hair cut? I don’t know how I’m going to get along, unless you do have it jest shingled a little?—J. G. Holland, ‘The Bay-Path,’ pp. 231–3.
