SHAREMONGER (N.) ‘shayr-mon-gur  Someone who rallies a group  of friends to join a house share at the beach or in the country, then must hound them to pay their share of the rent while  wrangling with the property owner and juggling house members’ changing  weekend requests. Usage: I want to spend three weekends on  Fire Island this summer, but I don’t want to be sharemonger—it’s too  much work organizing a houseful! Do you know anyone who’s got a place we can glom onto?
