I mean, school′s like a job. If you work for it you get your grades; if you work your hours you get your money. But if you bludge, you don't get money; if you bludge you don't get any grades. That's something that I didn't realize when I was young.

call girl

→ Cebuano: call girl

(informal) A female prostitute who is hired by telephone.

The Quinlan Marketing Coordination Plan – "Call girl" approach , separating sales from prospecting doubled agency sales in one year.

1980, Insurance Marketing - Volume 81, page 47:

The telephone reduced isolation and danger for rural families. City dwellers used it as a babysitter. It reinforced the social phenomenon of the teenage peer group. It led to new social and occupational roles: telephone operator, telemarketer, call girl. It helped the geographic expansion of organizations.

1994, Connie J. G. Gersick, Group Management: Current Issues in Practice and Research, page 173:

Designed primarily as a marketing tool for television stations, the "call-girl" console is produced by Key Marketing and sells for $3,995.

1996, Polling and Survey Research Methods, 1935-1979, page 239:

Girl: Yeah, Pay was okay, but it just wasn't worth it. Everybody always yelling at you and hanging up on you. Guy: Hanging up on you? Girl: Yeah. Guy: Because you were a call girl? Girl: Yeah. Guy: Like a telemarketer? Girl: Yes! Guy: Oh. Well, this girl wasn't...that kind of call girl.

2008, S. Morgan Friedman, Michael Malice, Overheard in New York:

My position taking telephone calls in customer service at Hewlett-Packard wasn't a high-status job—in fact, we were originally known as 'the call girls'—but soon I learned enough about the company's products to move into marketing and corporate communications.

2009, Aundrea Lacy, Brownie Points: Seven Steps to Success for Woman, page 8:

(humorous) A woman who works as a call center agent. (see usage notes)

Of the 68 women, 26 reported that they had worked on the streets and as an escort over the course of their career as a prostitute, 18 exclusively as a street prostitute, and 8 as an escort only (i.e., working for an escort service).

2014, Jeffrey T. Parsons, Contemporary Research on Sex Work, page 87:

Every escort has at least one or two regular clients; they are our bread and butter.

2017, Samantha X, Back on Top: Confessions of a High-Class Escort, Hachette, →ISBN:

bully

en-noun

bully (countable and uncountable, plural bullies)

From 1530, as a term of endearment, probably a diminutive ( + -y) of Dutch boel (“lover; brother”), from Middle Dutch boel, boele (“brother; lover”), from Old Dutch *buolo, from Proto-Germanic *bōlô (compare Middle Low German bôle (“brother”), Middle High German buole (“brother; close relative; close relation”) (whence German Buhle (“lover”)), Old English Bōla, Bōlla (personal name), diminutive of expressive *bō- (“brother, father”). Compare also Latvian bālinš (“brother”). More at boy.
The term acquired a negative connotation during the 17th century; first ‘noisy, blustering fellow’ then ‘a person who is cruel to others’. Possibly influenced by bull (“male cattle”) or via the ‘prostitute's minder’ sense. The positive senses are dated, but survive in phrases such as bully pulpit.

onomatopoeic

expressive

Mr. Fisher returned from town... he had learnt that our opponents intended to shift the scene of operations to the Chats... We understood that they had hired two bullies for the purpose of deciding the matter par voie de fait. Mr Fisher hired two of the same description, who were supposed to be more than a match for the opposition party.

floozie

Corruption of flossy in the sense of showy.

A bunch of ugly-looking gangsters had taken the joint over for a big party, and they were all wobbling around the floor with their floozies, so drunk they could hardly stand.

1946, Milton “Mezz” Mezzrow, Bernard Wolfe, “If You Can’t Make Money”, in Really the Blues, New York, N.Y.: Random House, book 3 (1928–1935: The Big Apple), page 183:

«Sure thing. You going with that little Mexican floozy?»

1957, Jack Kerouac, chapter 13, in On the Road, Viking Press, →OCLC, part 1:

Now I was a forsaken codger snuffling disgracefully from a beautiful floozy's abuse.

1976 September, Saul Bellow, Humboldt’s Gift, New York, N.Y.: Avon Books, →ISBN, page 418:

[T]he lead singer found his girlfriend bumping uglies in the dark with the roadie. But then said singer was with a blonde floozie himself—see what being on an L.A. trash-band bill can do to ya?

Monsters of impurity, avaricious wretches, poisoners, have occupied the papal see. A learned bishop (Maret of the General Council) expresses himself with holy indignation in reference to the frightful enormities of the tenth century. This epoch deserves to be designated under the title of the Pornocracy; that is to say, the government of prostitutes, for Theodora, Marozia, and other ladies of rank at that time, placed on the pontifical throne their paramours and their sons, who were no better than themselves.

coaster

Hollywood Dream – The Ride
Universal Studios Japan

From coast (“to glide along without adding energy; to make a minimal effort; to slide downhill (especially, to slide on a sled upon snow or ice)”) + -er (suffix forming agent nouns). Coast is derived from Middle English costeien (“to travel along a border or coast; to go alongside (something), skirt; to accompany, follow; to travel across, traverse; to be adjacent to, to border;”) [and other forms], from Anglo-Norman [Term?], Old French costoier (“to be at the side of”) [and other forms] (modern French côtoyer (“to pass alongside; (figuratively) to rub shoulders”)), from Latin costicāre, from costa (“rib; side, wall”); see further at etymology 1.
The sense 2.1 (“small stand or tray”) is from the fact that the object and the decanter or wine bottle on it “coast” or travel around a tabletop from person to person. The sense 2.2.2 (“useless compact disc or DVD”) refers to the fact that the object is only useful as a drink coaster.

It was cold but still, and Polly trotted down the smooth, snow-covered mall, humming to herself, and trying not to feel homesick. The coasters were at it with all their might, and she watched them, till her longing to join the fun grew irresistible.

1869–1870, Louisa M[ay] Alcott, “Polly’s Troubles”, in An Old-Fashioned Girl, Boston, Mass.: Roberts Brothers, published 1870, →OCLC, page 42:

(US, winter sports) A person who uses a sled or toboggan to slide down a slope covered with ice or snow; a sledder, a tobogganist.

In Prashar's opinion, there are two types of manager: "coasters, who coast along in a job, and sprinters, who have a challenge, deal with it and then move on."

commoner

From Middle English comoner, comyner, cumuner, equivalent to common + -er.

There are to this day fellow-commoners at Queens, and surely such a distinguished commoner as Fuller would have been allowed to remain on that foundation, in which he had spent seven years, in this new capacity. The expense would have been about the same, and the only way in which I can account for his migration is either pique at being passed over, or the friendship of so famed a theologian as Dr. Ward.

1886, Rev. Morris Joseph Fuller, “College Days (Sydney-Sussex). 1629-1631”, in The Life, Times and Writings of Thomas Fuller, D.D., 2nd edition, volume 1, London: S. Sonnenschein, Le Bas & Lowrey, pages 68–69:

(obsolete, UK, Oxford University) A student who is not dependent on any foundation for support, but pays all university charges; at Cambridge called a pensioner.


whoredom

en-noun

whoredom (usually uncountable, plural whoredoms)

From Middle English horedom, hordom, from Old Norse hórdómr, ultimately corresponding to whore + -dom. Cognate with Swedish hordom (“whoredom”), Middle Dutch hoerdom (“whoredom”).

And it came to pass about three months after, that it was told Judah, saying, Tamar thy daughter in law hath played the harlot; and also, behold, she is with child by whoredom. And Judah said, Bring her forth, and let her be burnt.

1611, The Holy Bible, […] (King James Version), London: […] Robert Barker, […], →OCLC, Genesis 38:24:

Mother[…]considered that the exclusiveness of Peter's circle was due not to its distinction, but to the fact that it was an inner Babylon of prodigality and whoredom, from which every Kensingtonian held aloof, except on the conventional tip-and-run excursions in pursuit of shopping, tea and theatres.

1921, Ben Travers, chapter 2, in A Cuckoo in the Nest, Garden City, N.Y.: Doubleday, Page & Company, published 1925, →OCLC:

Force not your slave-girls to whoredom that ye may seek enjoyment of the life of the world, if they would preserve their chastity.

1930, Pickthall, Marmaduke, The Meaning of the Glorious Koran, translation of The Qur'an, surah 24, verse 33:

the most enthusiastic punishers of whoredom were often the most evangelical Protestants, who sought the ever-further purification of society (‘Puritans’, as they came to be called in England).

2012, Faramerz Dabhoiwala, The Origins of Sex, Penguin, published 2013, page 14:

The state of being a whore, prostitution; sexual indulgence, fornication.


courtesan

Borrowed from Middle French courtisane, from Italian cortigiana, feminine of cortigiano (“courtier”), from corte (“court”), itself from Latin cohors.

What wine, what drug, what philtre known of man / Will drown this ancient foe, / Ruthless and ravenous as a courtesan, / Sure as an ant, and slow?

1909, Charles Baudelaire, “The Irreparable”, in John Collings Squire, transl., Poems and Baudelaire Flowers:

In the notes he wrote for Nana, his novel about a courtesan in Second Empire Paris, Zola imagined ‘a whole society hurling itself’ at her body, ‘a pack of hounds after a bitch, who is not even on heat and makes fun of the hounds following her’. This might also describe the life of Harriette Wilson, whose unguarded pursuit by the leaders of the British aristocracy, the army, the government and opposition made her the most desired, and then the most dangerous, woman in Regency London.

2014, Frances Wilson, The Courtesan's Revenge, Faber & Faber, →ISBN, page 10:

A female prostitute, especially one with high-status or wealthy clients.


huru

almah

Ultimately from Arabic عَالِمَة (ʕālima, “singer”), originally a feminine adjective meaning ‘learned, knowledgeable’, from عَلِمَ (ʕalima, “to know”).

Nostalgia is almah, the Arab dancing girl. She tells me stories of the drowned, the deadest of this world's dead.

1998, Hélène Cixous, translated by Catherine Gillivray, Firstdays of the Year, Minnesota, page 157:

An Egyptian singer or dancing-girl used for entertainment; a dancing-girl, a prostitute.


fun house

Carnival! The day was young, but already the streets were thick with revelers, with dancers, with drunks. A score of bands played, youngsters in particular ran about attired in costume, there were barbeques and flowing beer kegs. On the outskirts of town were roller coasters and ferris wheels, fun houses and drive-it-yourself miniature cars. Carnival!


on the loose

Many doctors practising in large cities dwell on the difficulty of checking clandestine prostitution, which is unfortunately on the increase in all crowded centres, where numbers of women are on the loose, over whom the police have little or no hold.

1868, The Indian Medical Gazette, volume 3, page 21:

(slang, archaic) Earning a living by prostitution.

Der, nach dem Schauspiel, hofft ein Kartenspiel, / Der eine wilde Nacht an einer Dirne Busen.

1808, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, “Vorspiel auf dem Theater”, in Faust: Der Tragödie erster Teil [Faust, Part One]:

One, after the play, hopes for a card game / another, for a wild night on the bosom of a harlot.

Das Glück ist eine leichte Dirne, / Und weilt nicht gern am selben Ort; / Sie streicht das Haar dir von der Stirne / Und küßt dich rasch und flattert fort.

1851, Heinrich Heine, Romanzero, Hamburg: Hoffmann und Campe, Zweites Buch: Lamentationen, page 118:

Luck is an easy girl / And does not like to linger in a place; / She wipes your hair from your brow / And kisses you swiftly and flutters away.

[ˈs̠kɔrt̪ʊ̃ˑ]

From Proto-Indo-European *(s)ker- (“to cut”). Compare scrōtum, scrautum, scrūta. See also corium, Proto-Germanic *skeraną (whence English shear), Ancient Greek κείρω (keírō, “I cut off”), Albanian harr (“to cut, to mow”), Lithuanian skìrti (“separate”), Welsh ysgar (“separate”), Old Armenian քերեմ (kʻerem, “to scrape, scratch”). The prostitute sense may have arisen from the former skin, leather sense through scortum subigere ("beat leather; tan leather"), as an ancient metaphor for sexual intercourse. According to Festus, Scorta appellantur meretrices, quia ut pelliculae subiguntur 'prostitutes are called "leathers" because they are beaten/tanned like small skins'. Cf. Latin pellicula ("small skin", and "whore" in farce), Spanish pelleja ("skin, hide; whore"). Hammarström observes that skin removed from the animal is loose, flexible and lacks hold.

Originally meant “young girl, young prostitute” in the dialect of Berlin. Further origin unsettled. Possibly from Middle Low German not, nōte (“nut”) in the sense of “vulva, vagina” (compare German Nuss, which has this sense in hunter's jargon); or from Nut (“furrow”), also in the aforementioned sense, but less probably, since this word is not Low German. An alternative hypothesis considers it a variation of Lütte (“little one”) from Middle Low German lüttel (“small”), possibly through a merger with Hebrew נִדָּה (niddā, “menstruating woman”), but the vocalism -u- does not really agree with this. Finally, since the connection with prostitution is apparently very old, a relation with Middle Low German nütte (“useful, profitable”) might be considered.

Francis Urquhart: Yes, you have a point there.
