Babes. Licks. Tricks. Johns.
Yeah it really is about the Money band they Love those that tend to over pay, or are always too generous.
They also like White Knights, and sometimes a WK, can save the day, but that really is a rare thing. Most time they are in a bad way because they have previous problems that are overwhelming, and they continue to make Bad Choice, even after Good Advice. Call it anything, you please, but the World of Street SW's is a True Soap Opera.
Calling you Babe, Licks, Johns, or Tricks is exactly that. They use to be called that and now they call you a trick, which is why it is called turning a trick, so to speak. A Lick use to be used to refer to drugs, and now that has changed. You are now the Lick, your money to get Drugs, and it is so true for Babe. They can't keep all those names straight. I have been called by the wrong name many times and I just let it go. Only really LE calls us Johns. Most SW's as I know rarely ever refer to us as Johns. You can add a whole host of other names, but those are the first slang names known. Everything is about not being obvious as they talk too and around each other and strangers.
So take a deep look at your wallet, and know these SW's ain't giving out Coupons & Discounts. Unless you are a demanding Lick / John, you won't get your moneys worth. Remember Jamie, I have seen her out on the stroll in 12-20 degrees weather with two inches of snow on the ground. She lived just down the street from a regular of mine.
That is how hardcore the need for your Money is for Them. And in low times see how often your cell phone will ring to make arrangements or to ask for $$. I have a throw away phone, so the call for me go to voice mail.
Make your Money work to get you the most BANG for Your Bucks. If you don't then what you are paying 40-50 for I am getting for 20-25-30 for the same type of FS & Service. You won't pay more than you should for a Big Mac, then why pay more for Street Services. Yeah I know I simplified FS to a Big Mac, even I think that's Funny, but you get my point.
I can never express to you about using the words Cautious & Beware & Aware. & Alert to Scams.
Oh Yeah in case you didn't know, try never to use your forum name as your street name, nor should you give away another members forum name. That is a Gross Infraction of The Forums Trust.
Everyone needs a street name and my friends we all use the same name so everyone is called by the same name.
It adds a layer of confusion, that help keep individual I. D. 's a secret.
