Ahhh...the nuances of lanuage.
Mongers used to push their carts, laden with their product through the city streets... shouting and sometimes singing about the deal of the day. So, a guy who sells fish is a fish-monger, and a person who sells metal implements is an iron-monger.
So how come I'm considered a ho-monger?
I don't have a cart...full of ladies (or otherwise). I don't go walking through the streets crying out "Get 'em while they're HOT! Jane and Alice are offering a 2 for 1 to the next 5 callers!" I'm on the buying side of the equation...What's up with the monger thing?
