 What's wrong with calling a spade a spade? - Armel Coussine
I am irritated by the term 'sex worker' which is fashionable at the moment. There's nothing wrong with politely calling a thing by its name, prostitute or tart for example. Sex worker is somehow over-genteel and evasive.

I said 'politely'. When these terms are used unkindly or spitefully most people recognize it. As always, intention is 90% of communication.
