  1. It is not only that, but it is also that it is “where they work”, it is their “shop”

  2. Sure, Jack, but like I note, that’s a secondary meaning. You know, once the nickname was well-established, then people started giving it alternate definitions, with “this is where we work” being the most popular by far.

  3. actually that is where they do their business is the meaning what you are describing is not the meaning of the word but the origin of the word You’re describing the etymology and that changes over time

    in the beginning it was as you describe but now it is no longer as you describe now they call it shop because that’s where they work That’s how languages evolve
