I'm sorry if this sounds overly cruel or unkind, but how did she manage to get that many men to marry her?
A cargo bay full of Mudder's Milk?

Not exactly. The term Polygamy applies to any multiple marriage situation. While it would be more precise to call it polyandry, using polygamy is not incorrect.

She might clean up real nice, though I doubt it.
Its been my experience that lonely men (and women) will lower their standards when confronted with someone telling them what they want to hear.

Actually, Polygamy is a non-gender specific term meaning "more than one spouse"...
Y'all are, of course, correct on the Polyandry (more than one husband) and Polygyny (more than one wife) gender specific terms...
However, Polygamy can be used interchangeably.
