hookers

Those soliciting sex

Hookers are prostitutes—people who exchange sex for money.

The term is vulgar slang, common but disrespectful: The cops arrested three hookers on the corner.

The word likely derives from Corlear's Hook, a New York neighborhood once known for prostitution, though folk etymology attributes it to Civil War general Joseph Hooker.

A hooker is also a rugby position in the front row of the scrum.
