Knepper is the musician that Charles Mingus punched in the mouth on the bandstand. Mingus also sent a package of heroin to Knepper's house and then alerted the narks that it was coming. Yet, by all accounts he was a very quiet, nice guy.

  11:23am Dean:

The entry for "monger," the noun, in OED is fascinating. In fact, derogatory usages emerged in the 16th century. This illustration from Robert Burns in 1786 is too good to ignore: "Send Willie the monger to hell with a smack." It wasn't until the 20th century that the word was deployed as a verb, e.g., this from Anthony Burgess: "Not even Hedda Hopper could monger scandal in her regard."
  11:24am Listener Gregory:

According to my dictionary, "monger" means both someone who sells a particular product and someone who engages in a disreputable activity (like gossip monger or warmonger). Strange that the neutral meaning turned into something derogatory.
