choosing money
n.— «The process of “choosing” involves a woman deciding if she wants to affiliate herself with a pimp.…A woman who is attracted to a pimp may find that he woos her initially and then requires her to produce some money for him. Successful completion of the task of earning the “choosing money” means that a woman is “qualified” to work for the pimp.» —by Helen Reynolds Economics of Prostitution Feb. 1, 1986.
