The origin of Saler man is when I was talking to a Brazilian friend whose English is very good if you consider he has never been to an English speaking country.  He tried to say a person was a salesman.  "He is a Saylor-Man" was how it came out.  Ever since then I call salesmen sailor men. On a side note we were driving down a highway in Brazil and we drove past an attractive young lady selling her body to people by the side of the highway.  He saw here and said "she’s a road horse"…which was pretty funny considering we’d just driving past some horses tied up in such a fashion as to clip the grass while eating it.
