Cara Silver 32412 Report post Posted November 23, 2014 After what I like to call my 'forced transition', I am no longer an S-court. Thanks Overlord Harper! So I'm digging around for new job descriptions and found the following: 'Sausage Wallet'- from the Elizabethan era. and 'Lady of Ultimate Accessibility' from a polite member of the Yukon RCMP to describe the ladies of the Klondike's Red Light District, circa 1899. Any others? Love, Sausage Wallet Silver. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Helena D'Orville 33237 Report post Posted November 23, 2014 I have found the odd word ''Retinue''... English is my second language so it is always a delight for me to discover new words. But this one is really bizarre! http://www.thesaurus.com/browse/escort Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But this one is really bizarre! http://www.thesaurus.com/browse/escort That's cool Mia, it's a new one for me! What's your first language? I like the Sin City terms- 'dame' is the best! A bit more feisty than Dame Judi Dench though. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister T 45020 Report post Posted November 24, 2014 I've seen "Lady of the night" in various literary sources (can't remember which at the moment). Given not all is done at night, it feels out of place and seems funny (to me at least). Retinue is one i have seen as well. Its use goes back to old french (middle french) - as a source meaning to retain ... a group of retainers or attendants depending of context. I think it has uses dating back to middle english too. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Metalsmith 2980 Report post Posted November 24, 2014 Retinue is (in my experience) a group of people, not a single person...? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Helena D'Orville 33237 Report post Posted November 24, 2014 Hi Cara ;-) My first language is French (from Normandie, France, well-known region for its cows, cheese, apples, alcohol... and the second world war beaches, of course :-) Metalsmith: I have no clue if ''retinue'' is for a single person or a group. I am still working on trying to integrate it as a real word in my English as a second language. I looooove words. I could make up a new term for an escort: I am an ''Ingenue Retinue''. What about this? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gene Simmons of KISS wrote a book about this industry, and funny enough, he named the book "Ladies Of The Night". I haven't read it yet, but im sure it would be a very interesting book.

Classy, motherfuckers :D Oh my god this made me laugh :) Classy, motherfuckers! hahahahha I'm inspired by your 'i' words and will now start calling myself "Illuminati Lady." Illumilady, if you will! Additional Comments: VAMP! Vamp is an awesome word. I always thought Jessica Rabbit was the epitome of a vamp. But how did she that dress to stay up?

Kate von Katz 49953 Report post Posted November 29, 2014 Ha ha ha... I don't take myself too seriously. :D Vamp is good! Reminds me of Morticia Addams and the old goth queens. Muse is another good one to use. A gentleman's muse... has an elegant ring to it. Really, more than ever using a thesaurus is handy and almost a requirement with the linguistic tricks we have to pull to convey the gist of what we're about these days.
