bottom bitch
n.— «That winter, Romeo took Lucilia to the track, to bachelor parties, and to clubs—including Club Kalua, which would be the scene of the Sean Bell shooting almost three years later—where she drank to get up her nerve to dance nude on a platform and have sex with customers in VIP rooms. Soon, she was the “bottom bitch” of the house, the one making the most money.…Romeo came and got me in the car, and he’s like, ’Oh, my God, this is why I made you my bottom bitch, ’cause you know how to follow all the rules!’”» —“The 13-Year-Old Prostitute” by Jessica Lustig New York (New York City) Apr. 9, 2007.
