How it's used
Refers specifically to female staff working in massage parlors, often those offering casual or non-medical services. The term carries a slightly informal or potentially objectifying tone depending on the context, so it is best avoided in professional or polite conversation. It is common to hear this in discussions about nightlife or local entertainment districts.
