‘Mantiquing’ Takes Off

Wednesday, 04 September 2013 | by Pat's Picks

The Minneapolis Star Tribune introduced a new word into my vocabulary this morning: mantiquing. Apparently, the popularity of shows like “American Pickers” and “Storage Wars,” has caused a surge of men to start antiquing. But the rules are slightly different than they are for female shoppers. For mantiquers, it seems that the more offbeat the better. Think an 8-foot stuffed giraffe. Or an old-fashioned dentist chair.
