Fishmonger

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A fishmonger is someone who sells fish and seafood. In some countries modern supermarkets are replacing fishmongers who operate in shops or markets.

In Shakespeare's Hamlet, some contend, the word fishmonger was a euphemism for a pimp [1][2]. It is not known if the pejorative use of fish to refer to penis was also implied by this possible usage. It seems more likely that "fish" would refer here not to the male genitalia, but to the female.
