Okeh, folkses...

A "MANGER" is a stall intended for the livestock (farm animals) as
sleeping quarters. The reference is to the biblical account of Jesus'
birth...suggesting his humble roots...?! It has SFA to do with any
"managers" (whose behaviour is almost ALWAYS NON-biblical)?!

As noted, the addition of an "L" makes the word "mangler"...meaning
either someone who "mangles" (i.e. destroys, tears apart, usw...or
uses a "mangle" [an old laundry/ironing device]...?!).

Sheep thrills, one supposes...?!
