Sells you happiness by the wheel and calls it inventory.
means A person who sells cheese as their trade, often with the deep expertise of someone who has tasted everything in the shop.
from Straightforward English compounding: 'cheese' plus 'monger,' an old word for a dealer or trader, from Old English 'mangere,' related to 'mangian' (to trade). The same suffix gives us 'fishmonger' and 'ironmonger' — and, less appetizingly, 'warmonger' and 'scaremonger,' once 'monger' drifted from stalls of goods to stalls of trouble.
