Rahab

1) Biblical character in the book of Joshua. Prostitute who helped the army of the Hebrews to conquer Jericho.

2) In Semitic languages (of which Hebrew is one, Arabic, another) the root of this name (rhb) means "vast, wide."

3) In ancient times, the name was a slang term for a promiscuous woman's genitals-- referring to her "vastness"-- this is where the english term "Broad" comes from.

Take a look at that broad. Probably has a looser goose than Rahab!
