Definition
A pimping tactic where a client is deliberately presented with an unsuitable prostitute so the pimp can offer a second one and claim more commission.
How it's used
This term originates from the local sex industry but has evolved into a broader metaphor for any manipulative sales tactic where a provider intentionally offers an undesirable option first. The goal is to ensure the customer rejects the initial choice, creating a psychological opening for the provider to 'save the day' with a second, more expensive or profitable option. It implies a sense of being played or manipulated by someone who is orchestrating the outcome from the start.

Common mistake
Do not use this term in a literal culinary context, as it will cause significant confusion. While it contains the words for a baked pork chop meal, the metaphorical meaning is highly specific to deceptive business or social practices.
