demirep
why not simply say "call girl"? :)

Sergey Gorelik
: Fully agree. You can play forever with words, but in real life in the West they just call them hookers, or call girls, or working girls - no 'poetic aura' :-) Also, 'escort services'

: В оригинале - завуалированный намек, эвфемизм, который прямолинейное "call girls - девушки по вызову" - не передает. В другом контексте, бесспорно, хороший вариант.

Then "demirep" is enough of an euphemism, if you will ;) Point taken though, thank you.

: I think demirep is great if you want a slightly archaic style, but wouldn't use it for a modern text.
