How it's used
This term specifically refers to the practice of a hostess leaving a venue like a karaoke bar or nightclub to provide services to a client elsewhere. It implies a private arrangement that bypasses the establishment's official booking system or rules. The term carries a strong sense of illicit or secretive activity, often involving extra income for the worker.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with general prostitution or street walking, as it is strictly tied to the context of nightlife industry workers taking clients out of their workplace. It is highly sensitive and derogatory in many contexts, so use it with extreme caution.
