Clubmonger

/ˈklʌbmʌŋɡər/ noun

Definition

A person who sells or deals in clubs, or someone who excessively promotes club membership and club activities.

Etymology

From 'club' plus 'monger' (from Old English 'mangere' meaning merchant or trader). The '-monger' suffix, seen in 'fishmonger' and 'warmonger,' typically denotes someone who deals in or promotes something.

Kelly Says

This is a delightfully archaic term that might have described the hustlers of 18th-century London who made money by promoting clubs to wealthy men—it's the historical equivalent of a social network influencer!
