chasing curlies

This is a general term denoting the act of housekeeping in all of its forms, specifically the act of removing pubic hair from bathroom surfaces. Created over the disturbing job of trying to remove with your rag that one last elusive pubic hair, almost certainly belonging to someone else, from an otherwise clean tub. Term is frequently used by staffs of professional housekeepers, especially young white hippie housekeepers in the ritzy mountainous ski towns of Southwest Colorado.

Dreadlocked baked male maid #1: Dude, you really should have been born a trustfunder like me.
