Take a look at the sign in the rear window of this car:
I know it's tough to tell (the camera on my cell phone is pretty wimpy), but that sign says:
POLITICIANS:
DRUNKS, LIARS, THIEVES
& WHOREMASTERS
Oh man, I was really impressed with that message - not only because it was so brazenly displayed, but because the vocabulary was awesome. Whoremasters? What a badass word! I couldn't help but imagine it plastered across the cover of an epic fantasy novel - one that tells the tale of a great hero who uses his innate magical powers to summon and control a pack of supernatural streetwalkers.

Although we're used to the word "master" coming from Latin magister meaning something along the lines of "boss", the word "whoremaster" is a little different.
It actually means someone who is a customer of whores, as in a "john" to use more modern parlance.
And of course we can't forget one of my favorites, "whoremonger" :P
Wow, I really love learning new things :)
I had been familiar with, and fond of, "whoremonger", but "whoremaster" was totally new to me.
There is a workable idea for a movie in there somewhere...or at least a great parody of the "Beastmaster".
