Hello, I'm here to warn you that Ronnie is bad. She's trying to teach you slang words
0
1230
8432
00:09
that people use in real life, and maybe you're going to get offended by it. So if you're
1
9755
6345
00:16
offended, turn it off. Do it now. You have two seconds.
2
16100
5919
00:22
I'm Ronnie, back at you, teaching you some more slang, teaching you some more "tings"
3
22019
6449
00:28
that nobody teaches you. Are they scared to teach you? I don't know, but I'm not afraid
4
28499
7411
00:35
to teach you anything.
5
35910
1660
00:35
Today we're going to be teaching... I'm going to be telling you about prostitutes.
6
35976
6449
00:42
"What is a prostitute?" you may ask. Let me do this for you. 10 dollar. A prostitute is basically
7
42511
7899
00:50
a woman or a man who sells their body for sex. They're also called "sex workers" or
8
50410
9286
00:59
"escorts". These are all the same. It's just fancy names that people like to say for prostitutes.
9
59766
8112
01:07
What I'm here to teach you, though, is the slang. Why do you need to know the slang?
10
67886
5496
01:13
Is it funny? Yes. Is it important for English? Is it impo...? Yes, because movies. Have you
11
73429
8589
01:22
seen the movie Pretty Woman? Julia Roberts? In the movie Pretty Woman, Julia Roberts plays
12
82041
8209
01:30
a hooker, she's a prostitute. Melanie Griffith, in a movie called Call Girl or Working Girl,
13
90250
7255
01:37
plays a prostitute. And the man that likes hamsters a lot, Richard Gere, he plays a male
14
97560
7356
01:44
prostitute in the movie American Gigolo. So, prostitution is all around us. It is not something
15
104948
8382
01:53
that you can hide away from. It's not something that you can pretend doesn't happen, because
16
113330
6530
01:59
it's out there and it's real, and I'm going to teach you some slang for it. Slang with Ronnie.
17
119860
7319
02:07
"Hookers". All of these words, here, are words in slang for a prostitute. All of these words,
18
127640
9819
02:17
here, are for women prostitutes. We're going to go through the pronunciation because this
19
137459
5340
02:22
is important. The first word is "hooker". Then we have "whore". Please notice the "w"
20
142799
6969
02:29
is silent. We don't say: "w-w-whore"; we just say: "whore". "Ho", this is way too common,
21
149784
7962
02:37
in my opinion, in a lot of gangster rap videos and gangster rap songs. They're always talking
22
157793
7056
02:44
about hoes and bitches, please. More common, because it's more, I guess, old fashioned
23
164849
10450
02:55
is if somebody is a "lady of the night". She's not a vampire. She's a hooker. You're a prostitute.
24
175299
7855
03:03
"Call girl", I think this was the name of the movie with Melanie Griffith, but it was
25
183201
5589
03:08
Working Girl, you call the girl who is an escort, and she will come wherever you are,
26
188790
9391
03:18
and have sex with you and you give her money. Perfect. "Working Girl" was the name of the
27
198516
7494
03:26
movie by... Or with Melanie Griffith. We also call prostitutes "street walkers", because
28
206010
8670
03:34
they literally walk the street, looking for money.
29
214680
4717
03:40
A "tart", not a strawberry tart, but a tart is also a prostitute. A "strumpet", what a
30
220226
7639
03:47
good word. "Slag", "slag" we use also to say for someone who just has sex with many people.
31
227896
10567
03:58
They don't necessarily get paid for it like a prostitute, but they have sex with lots
32
238572
4650
04:03
of people. So, a slag, a slut, and a skank mean two things: they mean a prostitute or
33
243253
7376
04:10
someone who just has sex with a lot of people for free. Should be getting paid for that, girl.
34
250629
5881
04:16
"Harlot" is a very old fashioned word, and I'm sure it would be in really old movies
35
256763
5957
04:22
with Elizabeth Taylor. She was a harlot. Was she? Well, I don't know. One of my favourite
36
262720
7320
04:30
words that I learned growing up, working in the trucking industry, was a "lot lizard".
37
270040
6135
04:36
Hmm. A "lot lizard", this is cool. So, lot lizard is specifically a prostitute that works
38
276261
8309
04:44
in parking lots. So a lot of men drive transport trucks from point A to point B. They get lonely
39
284570
8800
04:53
on the road, and they sleep in truck stops. You will see this a lot in American TV, where
40
293370
8290
05:01
there's truck stop, and they have a diner, and they're having lots of food and drinking
41
301660
3957
05:05
coffee. Well, when you're sleeping in your truck late at night, [knocks], inevitably,
42
305649
6775
05:12
there's going to be a knock at your window. [Knocks]. This is a lot lizard. A lot lizard
43
312448
5459
05:17
is a prostitute that works specifically at truck stops. Sometimes you'll see a truck
44
317892
6030
05:23
or transport truck that has a sticker with a lizard crossed out. That means he doesn't
45
323930
7140
05:31
want lot lizards or prostitutes knocking on his truck.
46
331070
4171
05:35
We get into some more slang and some more pronunciation with a "2 dolla hooker". Now,
47
335898
6712
05:42
escorts, hookers, prostitutes, they can be very, very expensive or very, very cheap.
48
342825
7735
05:50
If you charge 2 dolla, which means two dollars, for sex, there's probably a reason for that,
49
350669
7930
05:58
and the reason is probably because this woman is a "crack whore", a "dope whore", or a "coke
50
358622
7057
06:05
whore". I'm not talking about Coca-Cola, ladies and gentlemen, I mean coke as in... Hmm. The
51
365702
9188
06:14
white powder, cocaine. "Dope" is usually heroine, and "crack" is crack cocaine. So, any woman
52
374890
6710
06:21
that's addicted to these drugs, we would call them a crack whore, or a dope whore, or a
53
381600
6090
06:27
coke whore, they will sell their body not for money, but for the drug. As you can imagine,
54
387690
6240
06:33
this is a huge problem. Television likes to take, and movies like to take a lighter side
55
393930
6310
06:40
of prostitution, saying: "Oh, look at the poor prostitute." But it's a serious problem
56
400240
6010
06:46
that you can probably find out by now, Hollywood likes to sugar coat.
57
406250
6320
06:53
Where? Where do prostitutes hang out? Where can you find them? If you've ever been to
58
413473
5997
06:59
Amsterdam, it's legal. They have a "red light district". But also, many cities have what's
59
419470
7560
07:07
called a red light district. A "red light district" means this is the area where you
60
427030
5160
07:12
can find prostitutes. In Toronto, do you know where that is? I can take you on a tour of
61
432190
7633
07:19
Toronto. I will take you to what's called "Hooker Harvey's". Have you been there? Hi,
62
439862
6866
07:26
guys. Hooker Harvey's is a restaurant, but it's actually for men or women to pick up
63
446767
7670
07:34
prostitutes. So you can go to Hooker Harvey's on tours with Ronnie.
64
454468
5759
07:40
There is... If prostitution is legal, there are places called "brothels". A long time
65
460766
7534
07:48
ago, prostitution was legal. It's called the oldest profession in the book or the oldest
66
468300
8890
07:57
profession in history, because brothels at one time were really, really common or popular.
67
477190
6290
08:03
A brothel is a place where a man or a woman could go and actually buy a prostitute, and
68
483675
7364
08:11
they can have sex or do whatever they do in the room in the safety of the brothel. In
69
491094
5819
08:16
Canada, brothels are illegal, and most prostitutes are forced to have sex in alleyways or dirty
70
496937
8873
08:25
hotels, or wherever they want, really. A slang for a brothel is a "whore house". As you can
71
505810
6926
08:32
see, we get this word again, "w" is silent.
72
512768
3203
08:36
There's also someone who is a really, really bad person, this is a "pimp". Now, a pimp
73
516010
9619
08:45
is usually a man, and the pimp basically owns the call girl or owns the hooker. She has
74
525629
8611
08:54
to give a percentage, if not, all of her money to the pimp. You're going to see this a lot
75
534240
5769
09:00
in movies. It's a man, he's usually got crazy clothes on, carries a cane, crazy hat, gold
76
540009
5351
09:05
teeth, you know what I'm talking about. "Pimp" is a man who actually owns the hookers. A
77
545360
7729
09:13
"madam" would be the woman that owns the whorehouse, and she would be like the pimp, she would
78
553089
7891
09:20
get a cut of the money or some of the money from the prostitute. So this isn't a wonderful
79
560980
6839
09:27
thing to do. You can't be really rich and wonderful, because there's always someone
80
567819
6070
09:33
taking your money. In Canada, like I said, it is illegal and you are not taxed. There's
81
573889
6640
09:40
one thing in Canada, we don't have to pay tax if you're a prostitute.
82
580529
4037
09:44
And we also have male prostitutes, yay. So strictly for woman, so this means a man who
83
584582
8954
09:53
only will have sex with woman... Women. He's called a "gigolo". There's a movie called
84
593568
6771
10:00
American Gigolo, starring Richard Gere. And this is where this movie comes from. We can
85
600339
7771
10:08
also call male prostitutes "male escorts", "rent-boy", "hustler", "pay for gay", or "rough trade".
86
608110
11335
10:19
These ones that I've written down, here, are usually men that have sex with other
87
619538
5651
10:25
men. But like I mentioned before, the gigolo has sex with the women. There are some other
88
625189
5690
10:30
places around the city in a red light district or in big cities where you can get escorts
89
630879
7791
10:38
or get sexual favours for a price.
90
638670
4509
10:43
There's a really famous one in slang that's called "rub and tug". Now, this is advertised
91
643226
8994
10:52
in newspapers or in phone booths, if you're in London, as a "massage parlor". A massage
92
652220
10119
11:02
parlor, you're going to get a back rub, and they're going to rub something else for you.
93
662339
4188
11:06
So, in slang, we don't call them massage parlors because we know that you're not getting a
94
666543
6348
11:12
massage. It's called a "rub and tug". "Rub" means that you touch and tug... Yeah. You
95
672899
6578
11:19
get it. Good.
96
679524
1447
11:21
Also, you can find a lot of prostitutes or strippers at a "strip club". The slang words
97
681409
5691
11:27
for strip clubs are: "ripper bar", it comes from the word "strip" or "stripper",
98
687100
6609
11:34
"the rippers", but also "the peelers". "Peelers" mean they peel off their clothes really seductively,
99
694487
8164
11:42
and then they want coke from you, and money, and yeah, it's really good. And then you spend
100
702698
6071
11:48
a lot of money on beer.
101
708769
1714
11:50
We have two very famous strip joints in Toronto. Like I've mentioned before in my videos, I
102
710843
8007
11:58
will be doing tours of Toronto. I can point you in that direction; not going in. If you'd
103
718850
7539
12:06
like to know where that is, give me a shout out on Facebook. Please be very careful out
104
726389
7390
12:13
there if you're involved in any of this, and stay safe.
