Mongering: What's your favourite thing to monger if not fear? *title edited by MNHQ*

[FunkyKingston]

Mine are

Cheese
Iron
And whores

In that order.

War
Roz war is definitely the worst type of monger, but after war what is the next worse type of monger?

Fear
Gloom
Doom
Or Scare?

For all you know I might be a fashion monger 👗

My dream husband would be a cheesemonger.
I don't think I could cope with a fishmonger.

What about mongermongering? Like a bunga bunga party. Or bungamongering?

Farts.

Been eating a lot of pulses, lately.

Butchers were (are?) called fleshers.

Yuck

Almost enough to make one become a vegetarian.

If you can have a war monger can you have a peace monger?

Is whore monger a typo??

Loving this thread!

The terrific podcast No Such Thing As A Fish did a bit on ‘mongering’ recently. Worth looking up.

confuzzled

No it's an archaic term for a man who uses the services of a prostitute or a pimp.

REVELATION 21:8

8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

I have never heard this before. Thanks @FunkyKingston.

I laughed out loud at the meatmonger. It just sounds weird!

WAR!

What is it good for?

Absolutely everything!

Get your war, fresh war over here! Five for a pound love.

I’m a catmongerer. They don’t like admitting they are being monged though.

Most of them are moggies, so actually that makes me a moggymongerer.

Datamonger?

Hello, @FunkyKingston - just a quick one to say that we've hopped on and edited your title slightly so there's no confusion.

Thanks.

Seems a trifle OTT as it was perfectly clear what was meant by the context.

Plus, the edit makes no sense as 'mong' is to (figuratively) sell and 'monger' is the seller.

Iron - I actually made a horse shoe once so am an "expert"

Are there new mongers?

Websitemonger?
Vlogmonger?
Fidgetspinnermonger?

Ooh, yes, Mysterian

Selfiemonger
Plateshotmonger

T'interweb is a frighteningly mongering place.

I've been a cakemonger all my life. Both in terms of selling it (see fishmonger) when I was a student, and in terms of promoting it (see warmonger) pretty much ever since.

Butchers were (are?) called fleshers.

Hence the origin of the name of Fleshmarket Close in Edinburgh.

Wine

There used to be separate fruitmongers and vegmongers. Then they merged and became greengrocers.

Not sure about me? But my kids are messmongers, snotmongers, chaosmongers and whinemongers of the mongeryist makemumcrazymongers

Oooh ,what about mememonger
