A prostitute. Usually, prostitutes are females, but plenty of males are also prositutes.

Hookers sell their bodies to a variety of people, from unassuming men to really freaky characters. Just imagine having sex with half a dozen strange men each day for money it's not a pleasant thought.

And prostitutes don't have sex for money because they like it; it's about the money.

Hookers range from the chic call girl, who has control over the situation, to the lowly streetwalker, who is vulnerable to attack.

And remember: use a condom if you're with a prostitute, unless you want clamydia, gonorrhea, herpes, AIDS, hepatitis, syphilis, or other *charming* diseases.
"Oh God, put some clothes on! ... And I don't want to see your underwear! You look like a hooker." Moi thinking about Britney Spears, a reknowned porn star.

And prostitutes don't have sex for money because they like it; it's about the money. They might often hate their line of work, but they have no other way out.

Hookers range from the chic call girl, who is higher class and has control over the situation, to the lowly streetwalker, who is vulnerable to attack or police entrapment.

And remember: use a condom if you're with a prostitute, unless you want clamydia, gonorrhea, herpes, AIDS, hepatitis, syphilis, or other *charming* diseases.
"Oh God, put some clothes on! ... And I don't want to see your underwear! You're not supposed to show your underwear to the world! You look like a hooker." Moi thinking about Britney Spears, a reknowned prostitute, stripper, and porn star.

Foreign, unusual, unique (in a good way). Usually directed at something fresh, new, different, and cool.

Often refers to erotic dancing, but can refer to anything that seems foreign or unusual to the observer.
A language like English or Spanish will come to a point where they are pretty much same-old, same-old, and no longer exotic. They're still foreign, beautiful... but too common.

The minority languages in Europe, the Middle-East, Asia, and the like, are quite exotic.

Tha mi 'ciallachadh, an smaoinicheadh sibh gu bheil na Ceiltich cànanan coimheach? Gaeilge? Gàidhlig? Gaelg? Cymrig? Kernowek? Breizhoneg? Smaoinichinn cho. Th'iad air leth, àraid. Bhitheadh iad an ceòl nan leannan, nan neach-seinn, de rud sam bith nan leigeamaid iad bi.

Either means the people of England or a sadly mangled language. Once belonging to the Germanic Anglo-Saxons, the language has since become influenced by scores of other languages, slowly destroying the English language and its structure and rules.

Shanty (From Gaelic "Sean taigh"("old house")), galore (from Gaelic "gu leòr" ("enough")), whiskey (from Gaelic "uisge" ("water")), hamburger (from "Hamburg steak"), flower (from French "fleur", itself from Latin "flor"), bloom (from German "blum" ("flower")) and countless other words from so many other languages have, for better or worse, steeped into English.
"Let’s face it: English is a crazy language. There is no egg in eggplant or ham in hamburger, neither apple nor pine in pineapple.
English muffins were not invented in England or french fries in France. Sweetmeats are candies, while sweetbreads, which aren’t sweet, are meat.
We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig. And why is it that writers write, but fingers don’t fing, grocers don’t groce, and hammers don’t ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn’t the plural of booth beeth? One goose, 2 geese. So, one moose, 2 meese? One index, two indices? Is cheese the plural of choose?
If teachers taught, why didn’t preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?
In what language do people recite at a play and play at a recital? Ship by truck and send cargo by ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell? Park on driveways and drive on parkways?
How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? How can the weather be hot as hell one day an cold as hell another?
When a house burns up, it burns down. You fill in a form by filling it out and an alarm clock goes off by going on.
When the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it, but when I wind up this essay, I end it?
Now I know why I flunked my English. It’s not my fault; the silly language doesn’t quite know whether it’s coming or going." -Richard Lederer.
