Have you ever met a “fish-wife?”

Managing Real Estate Broker with Fathom Realty PB00068179

 

Sad to say I’ve met some in my past with my former profession.  With my new profession I’ve had the thought about a few but not experienced it yet.  You did catch yet didn’t you?  I know it’s coming but thankfully not yet.  Should I come into contact with one I think I’ll pass and give it to someone else?  I’m too old to deal with this.  Now for the meaning of (fish’ wif): a coarse, scolding woman.  So tell me have you met one of these?

Good morning, James. I have met a few of these. Thankfully, something was fishy about the situation and I made the wise decision to let someone else marry these (term used very loosly) - ladies...

If you are in the real estate business or any sales role long enough, you will meet your share. Count me among those who have. Enjoy your day!

James - there are always going to be people we don't get along with, whether men or women, fish wives or fish husbands!

James, I like this meaning of the word! I worked on fishing boats and was told the meaning of the word 35 years ago.  The meaning I was told by Captain Garret Ruth of Kent Island, MD - fishwife (a women who sells fish) Could this be right?

James,

Several nuns come to mind from my Catholic school days. They all started out with the same name, Sister Mary...

I wonder what happend to all the kids who were scolded for no reason, other than just because...

I'm glad those days are gone!

Every now and then I do, especially when I do something stupid.

But, then again, don't we all meet one now and then?
