BARBERMONGER — [Noun] A man excessively concerned with his appearance or dress; a fop or dandy. From barber (Old French barbour, from Latin barba, "beard") + monger (Old English mangere, "trader"), literally "one who frequents the barber's shop." Unlike "dandy" (which suggests a studied, almost artistic elegance) or "fop" (which implies clownish excess), "barbermonger" zeroes in on the compulsive, transactional nature of vanity. It is the scent of pomade clinging to a ruffled collar, the sound of shears snipping at already-trimmed sideburns, the sight of a man adjusting his cravat in every reflective surface—a life measured not in deeds, but in the frequency of one’s visits to the barber’s chair.
