Who's the real "Monger" in the hobby?

Webster and online dictionaries define "Monger" as ..

1. A dealer or trader in a specific commodity. Often used in combination: an ironmonger.
2. A person promoting something undesirable or discreditable. Often used in combination: a scandalmonger; a warmonger, hatemonger.

Going with option #1 wouldn't providers be the actual mongers rather than the guys who are the buyers?
Who took the term and applied it to the hard legs?

Society is looking at it as the second definition. And that is probably why it's called wh***mongering . Of course as a monger my view is skewed towards not being undesirable .

Brits & Ausies call themselves "punters"... Had me confused while doing an Asian trip...
