         DefinitionShort: a woman who practices sexual immorality as a profession

         Glosses: prostitute

         Comments: Since prostitution is an almost universal behavioral trait, it is not difficult to obtain terms for such a person or activity. The difficulty is usually involved in selecting a term which will not be vulgar. Expressions for a prostitute are often idiomatic, for example, ‘one who acts like a she-dog,’ ‘one who sells her vulva,’ ‘one who sells herself,’ or ‘one who receives any man.’
