with my friends. They looked at me like this :shock: They gave a collective "what the fuck does that mean?" The funny thing is I didn't intentionally say it. It just came out. I spend to much time here :wink:

The funniest part about this is, give them 3 more drops of it, and they wil be saying it.

Last week 'monger' was the Merriam-Webster word of the day.

I laughed.

My wife uses it, and for the most part correctly. I swell with pride.

I called my father 'gar' the other day. But more along the lines of the Sam Elliot character in 'Mask'. Still, I muffled a 'Loogar' like Seinfeld does 'Newman'.

Some mongering is good, but most mongering is gar.

There truly is no other word to describe mongery. It fills an important niche.

I wouldn't say MOST, but the provenance of the word is DEFINITELY GAR.

In today's appelation, mongering is pretty qual.

I always thought m0nger meant to take and use for yourself. This would make cockmonger an ever more amazing word.
