Might anyone help me define the key elements that differentiate among sluts, hos, and tricks?

Sluts are mostly free?

sluts are all about doin' it, hos are like vagabonds, and who even knows about tricks

Sluts will fuck anybody and don't require payment.

Hos = whore = prostitute. They'll fuck anybody for the right payment.

trick = what a ho turns. You get what you pay for.


These are the proper classifications the IRS uses for tax purposes. As far as i know, the three are used interchangeably in rap songs.

slut: A woman with the morals of a man.

ho: Prostitute, Whore, Hooker, Tramp, Slut

trick: A broad term for describing women who are either teases, hoes, or one of the above pretending to be the other. Calling a woman a trick shows you are not impressed/convinced by their shit.

Trick! Get out of my room! or Trick! get on your knees!

At least that's what Urban Dictionary says.

It seems to me that you're asking a very narrow question. I mean, what about skeezers, skip skops, scallywags, mark-ass tricks, trick-ass marks, heifers, hee-has, and hooly-hoos?

You're mucking about in very deep waters, my friend.

Also, remember that when you go to Urban Dictionary for any kind of useful information, what you're really doing is asking the kind of people who patronize Urban Dictionary for useful information.

Slut: woman who'll fuck anyone
Ho: woman who'll fuck anyone for money.
Trick: person who Ho is fucking. See also: John

and of course,
Bitch: woman who'll fuck anyone but you.

A slut will do tricks, but only if said slut is also a magician.

I think you'd be best served by referring to the canon as set forth by Eazy-E and Dr. Dre, for instance we know that bitches ain't shit but hoes and tricks. Scholarly papers such as Gangsta Misogyny: A Content Analysis of the Portrayals of Violence Against Women in Rap would certainly be enlightening, or you might try searching out a copy of Slut : Growing Up Female with a Bad Reputation for an alternative perspective.

Tricks are John's. Ho's "turn tricks."

Nobody *does* tricks.... People eat tricks (for kids!) and people turn tricks.
