I have been contemplating this for a bit~ Because i was once in the U.S. Military and non- Government personnel were called, 'Civilians/ a.k.a Civies"  

   I was wondering how this term came about to refer to non-escorts/ Providers, 'Hobbyists", and the like...  `
So, like Terrilynn once said; something that made me go, hmmmmm"  

   Many thanks.  Samantha

...has become a generic term applied to anyone outside a specialized clique. Clearly it originated with the military but has since spread. The world of sex workers is just one of many.

...who coined the term "hold the phone"?

Good question.  A quick internet search yielded no one author or originator of the term, but it was likened to a W.C. Fields "double-take" by dictionary.com

PS~ This reminds me of a game-thread (on another site I frequent) called "Answer a question with a question."  Fun stuff. ;-)

There isn't a man alive who hasn't paid for it, or a lady that hasn't sold it.

Has always referred to those folks who do not participate...at least as far as we know.  It's origin predates my entry into the game (2004), but it seems to be relatively hobby specific.

Nope. It goes back to military use.  

To me, there is often a connotation of a professional uniform (military; nurse's uniform; hooker uniform [stilettos, pricey lingerie, etc.] that significantly differs from civilian dress

That would tap into many fantasies of my own time in the military.  Seriously, there might be an untapped market there because I can't be the only guy who likes this  :-)

and thanks for your service to our country.
