Soccer is detestable.
MSOG is for HOCKEY! Which is one of the greatest sports ever! (nobody ever scores in soccer anyway, what a horrible example)What "industry terms" give you the cringies? I'll start:
Menu
Pop/cup (as euphemisms for ejaculation)
Hat/bag (as euphemisms for condoms)
Hobby
Starfish (as a euphemism for asshole)
I'm sure there are more but those are the worst for me. Thoughts?
prostitution
but even moreso some of the reviews that use terminology that sounds as though it is from a sixth grade locker room.....
in my post below what I was getting at is the notion that there is such a thing as a "hobby culture" that includes the checklist etc - and also seems to have evolved to use these euphemisms....
now I tend toward being a gentleman and prefer to avoid crudity for its own sake, but the "hobby" euphemisms vary from the annoying to the disgusting...
probably the worst of them is "hobby" in my view....
...I'm interested in knowing what terms you would use instead.
I will admit I use those sometimes when I'm in a hurry and typing on my kindle instead of the desktop.
"Menu" wouldn't be eligible for a replacement because the concept is just as irritating as the word. There are general activities that I'm down with, but everything is YMMV. If you have a dirty dick, I'm not going anywhere near it no matter what my profile says.
"Hat" and "bag" can easily be replaced by what they are...condoms.
"Pop" and "cup" are similar...just say orgasm. I guess "shot" is fine too.
"Hobby..." just no. Knitting is a hobby.
And of course, just say "ass" or "asshole" instead of "starfish." I don't know about y'all, but my asshole looks nothing like any aquatic creature.
I will admit I use those sometimes when I'm in a hurry and typing on my kindle instead of the desktop.
going back at least to the late 60s - "O" (otherwise once referred to as "the big O") :p it might be a tad juvenile but seems less, well, obnoxious than "cum"
my prob is that I am a gentleman through and through. I detest vulgarities used in substitute of decent erudition or for the purpose of crudity... and "hobbies" are for boys in short pants...
If you were asking me, I'd add to this list all the acronyms for various sexual activities —which I've on occasion even heard pronounced as if they were words, a linguistic double turn-off.
Oh, and the term "industry."
How about these changes:
Menu is now "List of shit ya ain't gonna get, so stop fuckin' askin' already!!!"
Pop/cup is now "money shot"; Why not? works for the porno bunch
Hat/bag is now "force field"; That way you can say as the guy is about to put his dick in ya, "May the force be with Ya!"
Hobby is now "Da Hunt"; Should be a weekly show, but most times isn't.
Starfish is now "Turdcutter"; That is it's function after all

but under the circumstances, obviously is not. I do not take slang as seriously as a lot of people here, so I got to steppin' on a lot of toes. All is good. Peace.
especially turd cutter and force field. Way better than tent haha.
I love it when the dudes say they shot a huge load down her throat. haha. Riiiiight. So sexy
Like 5" = 8". It's men speak.
Some common woman speak
5 min = 2 hours
I'm fine = I hate what you did but am not going to tell, I'm just going to torture your ass for the rest of the day
No one on this thread is taking this shit seriously.
Somebody always takes this shit seriously. Those are the people the rest of us laugh at. and then they call us "negative" lol
It would be a shorter list if I named the few that don't give me the "cringes". Hobby and the ridiculous word for those that partake in it (I can't even type it due to hatred of it) are two of the worst. Menu is right up there too.
I hate that term. Johns are human. Tricks are not. They are things you teach your dog to do to entertain your friends.
...or funny pranks to play on unsuspecting victims.
I gotta say, "John" is another one I can't handle. Someone very close to me is named John and I do NOT want to think about him in that light. Ever.
I'll admit I've used the word "lick" when referring to gents I see. I only use it on my private hooker blog that only other hookers read. The word "lick" is just a general term for anything illegal. i.e. The lick I had last night gave me the best DATY of my life.
not even describing ejaculation.
I mean it's bad enough to use "cum" as a slang, but I see people substituting that word for the word "come" when used according to the normal definition of the verb.
My better half nominates "monger" as her entry into the poll.
Especially if the gal only offers one cup/pop
"Cumming" to... (fill in the city).
"Welcum"
Cringed when writing those two examples, lol!
xoxo,
Steph
Seems like every stripper and every provider always calls me "Hun.. only them and the waitress in a pancake house.. no idea. why, but I hate it..
I don't mind being called hun (especially by cute old waitresses at Bob Evans), but I have a serious aversion to "sweetie." It's fucking patronizing.
Sweetheart is much better, imo.
I took a liking to "Babe" or "Baby." I've also been called by one stripper as "My love." Nice.
But let's not get off the subject. Would you rather I talk/write about our experience like this: I met with Toby and the first thing I asked her was "Hi Tobi, Since you are a prostitute and I'm here for two hours, do I get to fuck you is the pussy and ass with a condom and ejaculate as many time as I want? And if I feel like it, can I rip off the condom and spray sperm all over your face?"
Dude, if you said that to me upon showing up, the terminology would be least of my concerns. There would be no way to convince me you're not a cop.
All that aside, yeah, those words would be preferable to their euphemisms, but you should know by now that going anywhere near my ass in a penetrative manner is going to result in serious injury. But hey, if you want a taste of the people's elbow that badly, just ask.
Cock! And no, I don't want "the people's elbow"! BTW, I love reading your posts, you keep it real! And by that I mean.......lol
I don't know about y'll but I sure prefer less explicit hobby, hobbyist, provider and menu to the direct hammer-like John, prostitute, man who fuck women for money, and what kind of sex are you offering. Words like penis, vagina, ejaculation and other biological terms make me cringe and, pronounced during appointment, they are my mood killers.
I mean we're not into English language purity here. As long as it's understood what is being said in a review - it's fine by me. But I do have to admit that I often have a hard time keeping up with all the abbreviations out there. The latest one that puzzled me was JOE. Joe I thought, as in my neighbor Joe? 
It took me some effort to finally discover that JOE also meant a "jerk off experience/ending". Now how many of you knew that? lol
Also:
'Treat her right, guys'
'Run don't walk!'
So sad.

"And I believe it's derogatory to refer to a woman's breasts as "boobs", "jugs", "winnebagos" or "golden bozos".. and that you should only refer to them as "hooters". " -- Steve Martin
not a word I am fond of. As i am a guy, i suppose it's not up to me to say, but it seems to be degrading and to dehumanize those we so anxiously seek out. I prefer to substitute 'one of the two (ok, I know some of you are thinking 'or more') consenting adults'
I fucking hate soccer
Menu
Pop/cup (as euphemisms for ejaculation)
Hat/bag (as euphemisms for condoms)
Hobby
Starfish (as a euphemism for asshole)

MSOG is for HOCKEY! Which is one of the greatest sports ever!
(nobody ever scores in soccer anyway, what a horrible example)
Lacrosse and Water Polo, come to mine, also. Of course, with the latter, it usually gets more attention when the summer Olympics come around.
Now, I heard of GFE and PSE. How about upping the ante for those champion caliber types in athletics and competition: OE (Olympic Experience)
Just say donations or similar, the flowery language comes off pretentious...not a deal breaker but def "cringy"
Start off with - I can't believe I just dropped ten benjamins on this... but I also can't believe I just fucked that young, smokin hot girl either.
Benjamin, c-note, "large" (as in ten large), hundos...it's all Wall Street douchespeak
I remember one, uh...gent, who I declined to see twice after he failed to tip on the first date. To be clear, that first date involved 1+ hours of gratis travel time, OTC time, and every kinky activity his little heart desired, including some for which no acronyms have yet been invented...and all for my then-below-market rate.
When I explained why I wouldn't be seeing him again, he said (and I quote, with minor grammatical corrections) "Happy to send you a hundy just cause I truly enjoyed you and don't at all want you to feel slighted."
Being somewhat literate, it took me a minute to figure out what "hundy" even meant. Once I did, I couldn't impale myself on his cock again fast enough... NOT. All I could think was 'Are you fucking kidding me??'
But this sounds like it was in an email or text, that's hilarious! Especially if it was done on iPhone, takes a bit of effort to make it not autocorrect from hundy to Hindu!
Doesn't sound like his language was the reason you didn't quite care for this chap.

Language can have a potently repellent effect.
Take, for instance, the sentence: "Are tricking me of the fact...you don't understand English?"

Thank you .I'll be here all week.
in the "industry" because it objectifies and reduces the people and acts to bad jokes, have negative connotations socially or trivializes/makes fun of what is going on. I particularly also dislike trick and john for the negative connotations, just as I dislike whore and hooker. I don't mind provider and client, they are fairly emotionally neutral terms.
Use the same terms that you would use for civvies.
I agree for the most part so I like to use the term hooker and whore to shock people and remind people what my job is and not to be prejudice to girls that are not as upscale as I am. I dislike it when people sugar coat things but I do like the term provider since that is what we do... I hate the term escort... I do join my clients in regular life sometimes but rarely ever escort anyone anywhere except the bedroom. I NEVER use trick or john when referring to my clients, they are not my victims and.....
So funny comment on the term John and why it it used, being in the business for sometimes now I could never understand why they called them johns except for the term 'John Doe' as the typical unidentified male on the news or used by the police. I do not use my own name in the industry for safety reasons and completely understand why some clients would feel the urge to do as well. Girls are not the only ones that are targeted. So as time went by I noticed that an overwhelming amount of my clients were named Mike or Micheal. Then it dawned on me that the reason they are called Johns is because that is the fake name clients used to give working girls. It was the common off the top of the head name they could think of when asked. Now it has a negative connotation to use John and not as common as a name. What is more common and neutral is Micheal or Mike it is common enough to be believable and neutral enough to be acceptable. You wouldn't use Rahim or Jamal since too many providers are prejudice against foreign and colored clients. I assume the term Johns for clients developed a negative connotation is because it is to low end(cheap) providers that you would feel the most risk and want to hide your identity since that is where the client victimization is most likely to occur. So Johns became known as clients who try to hide their identity, and those who feel their identity is hidden or anonymous have the tendency to behave in a poorer or negative fashion then one whose identity is known hence the reason upscale girls expect more credible identifying information when booking and receiving client inquires.
So now jokingly I sometimes call them my 'mikes' but normally prefer the term clients. I find it is usually old school SP's and the general population that use those negative terms. Just thought I would share that interesting tidbit...

I wonder what the next "trick" or "john" might say about "YMMV" the next time he books a "hooker" and is told he can't bite her "nips". Then he brings out his preferred "bag" before probing her "starfish". He doesn't want to "pop" too soon, really wants "MSOG". Not a good thing for an experienced "hobby" guy to do right, not after dumping down 300 roses. Geez he wants to sample everything on the "menu".
So "hun", "babe", "sweetie" or whatever your darn name is, how about it???????

Some do well enough and get paid to even making a living at it. However, in the vast majority of cases where men seek out female escorts, the title “the hobby” will always stay a hobby.
(It may be laughable if someone asked you, “What is your hobby?” Your response, “That’s it!”)
Harmless enough, though, as I have no problem with many title/slang words.
Except, I can agree with ElleJ with words like prostitution, as its connotation is derogatory in our culture.
Where there’s a prostitute, there’s a John in the waiting.
Now I will take a break as I got to go to the John (Hey, that one’s versatile, and a double derogatory, lol.
Any guy in this hobby at this level is not cheap. From $200/hr to $1000/hr, it's all a lot of money.
Sometimes there isn't a meeting of minds, and so be it, but guys are no more "cheap" than ladies would be "greedy." Neither term should be used to describe others and their preferences within the hobby.
Related to this can be the put-down of women who charge lower rates (as often by ladies as gents), insulting with back-handed comments like "you get what you pay for." I have equal respect for each and every lady I've met, no matter what they charged.
Donation. It is not a donation. It is a fee. There are a whole host of horrible euphemisms - even worse than this one - on some sites as ladies try to get creative and think of new terms to use for their web menus. "Gallery" and "Rates" work just fine, no need to try to get too creative in this area. Etiquette is another I'm not big on. Just sounds patronizing to me.
Spinner. Reducing the description of a lady down to this visual that she is so petite that she could spin around on your cock seems a little demeaning. I'll admit, seeing this term so much here on TER, I've used it now a time or two myself. But upon reflection, generalizing a look by a specific sexual functionality does seem a bit insulting.
not limited to (and in no particular order), john, hooker, prostitute, call girl, trick, assistant, upscale, generous, low volume, and quicky.
Just like the word pimp describes anyone in the business of procuring a client.
Pop/cup for sure.
Hat/bag, as well. Also "cover" or "raincoat".
Menu isn't so bad.
Never heard of starfish.
"Hobby": I'm of two minds on this one. I think we need some generalized term for the gentlemen (and ladies) who patronize women for companionship and brief encounters. I thought "hobby" was kind of cute when I first started out--but I know it rubs some people the wrong way (both in and out of "the hobby"). Until somebody comes up with a better term (and it has to be vaguely codeword-ish), I'm resigned to "hobby".
Now for the term I really despise: "Community". The sex worker community. The LGBTQTSTG community. The BDSM community. Etc...
Man o' man. If you do something that goes against someone else's idea of what you as a member of "the community" should be doing, you'll never hear the end of it.
I hate that term with a passion. When it comes to that stuff, no established "community" represents my take on things. I'm a community of one.
Referring to a new hooker they like in almost every review. Still not exactly sure what that means...
Does that include on the boards? Because i definitely dont do that. Lol.
Menu
Pop/cup (as euphemisms for ejaculation)
Hat/bag (as euphemisms for condoms)
Hobby
Starfish (as a euphemism for asshole)
I'm sure there are more but those are the worst for me. Thoughts?
I'm nice to vast majority of the girls on this board
Unless they start shit with me. Lol
Hahaha! Aww, it warms my heart when they write that.

...any client's default behavior towards a provider is to act like a d*ck and treat them like sh*t. And that the idiot using this trite expression is some sort of abnormal exception to the rule - a shining exemplar of gallantry.
It annoys me
"Bombshell". I associate that with war. I'm looking for love and peace. If I see that word in an ad.....I immediately move on to someone else.
Some are really funny.
And, I have no problem with the word "hooker". I don't like the term "working girl" however.
I say "buttsex" instead of "Greek".
In place of starfish, excrement extruder and in place of cum, cock snot. Yea waaaaay too much time on my hands today.
