A john (U.S.) or a punter (U.K.) is a male client of a prostitute, particularly in the case of street prostitution. Although these are slang terms, they are used by both prostitutes and police in their respective countries. Johns from the United States prefer to call themselves "'mongers", short for whoremonger, a word that has expanded from its meaning of a pimp or bawd, who dealt in whores as a fishmonger deals in fish, to include anyone keeping the company of whores.

EAST MOLINE, Illinois (June 19, 2008) - John Deere Classic officials today announced they are seeking upwards of 100 volunteers to serve as hole marshals during the upcoming tournament, July 10-13, at the Tournament Players Club Deere Run in Silvis.
The John Deere Classic apologizes for the late change, and the loss of an Iowa alternative, but knows that the Park and Ride system will continue to deliver a great experience for all patrons with its air-conditioned, handicapped accessible buses.
"The John Deere Classic, obviously, is a special tournament to me and I am looking forward to returning to the Quad Cities and the TPC Deere Run," said Senden, the 18th first-time winner in the history of the event.
Born at Beaumont Palace, Oxford, John was the fifth son of King Henry II of England and Eleanor of Aquitaine.
John refused and, under feudal law, because of his failure of service to his lord, the French King claimed the lands and territories ruled by King John as Count of Poitou, declaring all John's French territories except Gascony in the southwest forfeit.
John and one of his Justices in Eyre, the Sheriff of Nottingham, are portrayed as the villain and henchman in the Robin Hood legends.
