turn out
v. phr.— «I’m having a heart-to-heart with a man most women would regard as the devil: a male who admits that he’s “turned out” straight girls (convinced them to become prostitutes).…”I can tell a whore because everyone’s a whore to me. I can turn anyone out. I believe you can change any woman’s conception of what she is.”» —“Big Pimpin’ FLA” by Courtney Hambright New Times Broward-Palm Beach (Ft. Lauderdale, Florida) June 23, 2005.
