How it's used

Using this term to refer to a sex worker is highly context dependent and often carries a euphemistic or derogatory tone depending on the speaker's intent. While it literally means miss, in nightlife settings like karaoke bars or clubs, it is the standard way to refer to female staff who provide companionship or sexual services. Avoid using this term to address a stranger in public, as it can be perceived as offensive or suggestive.
