I'm sorry did you live in the fucking Hanseatic League or some shit? Fucking iron monger?
It's Brit for local hardware shop
"Oi gubvenor I'm goin' to the iron monger to buy meself a smackerwhappy (hammer)"
You don't need to make words up, "spanner" already exists along with others that I'm forgetting.
Look it's not my fault the British have a lot of weird twee nicknames for things
must be regional because people where I am wouldn't make that connection
I know some parts of the world use "ironmonger" for "hardware store" but the number of people using that phrase unironically must be quite low nowadays
Sometimes you just need some spare iron mongered.
