How it's used
Refers specifically to the fee paid to a venue to allow a hostess to leave with a customer. It functions as a transactional term within the nightlife industry rather than a general term for hourly wages. The concept implies a temporary release from the hostess's contractual obligations to the club for the duration of the night.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with a standard hourly wage or a general service fee. It is strictly limited to the context of nightlife entertainment and the specific practice of paying for a hostess's time outside the club premises.
