Preferred term

pimp  

Definition

  • The term pimp is often associated with street prostitution or street-based sex work where those who participate in the exchange of sex for money or drugs are more vulnerable to arrest and assault. Often oversimplified in its use, this term masks the complexity of relationships surrounding sex work. [Source: Encyclopedia of Street Crime in America; Pimp]
