Learn To Talk Like A Stripper
There are basically three times in your life that it’s acceptable and reasonable to go into a strip club in this post-feminism world in which we live. Those occasions are 1) stag-dos, 2) birthdays and 3) lunchtimes (what? They do great meal deals).
Given that opportunities to go to strip clubs are limited, we wanted to prepare you for what you might experience when you visit, so we asked some of the charming dancers at Secrets in Covent Garden to give us an insight into their lingo, so you can be more of a BT than a Bulb on your stag-do.
“Bernie” – An old, unattractive guy with lots of money. No prizes for guessing which Bernie that’s in honour of.
BT – A funny customer who’s good to talk to.
Bulb – A dull customer.
Fox – An attractive customer.
Greyhound – A good customer, because he’s a winner.
Leash - A customer with his wife or girlfriend is ‘on a leash’.
Marsh – To not look your best, as in “that dancer looks Marsh”. Named after Jodie Marsh.
Peking Duck – A stingy customer, as in “tight as a duck’s arse.”
Scherzing – If a dancer looks amazing then she is Scherzing. Named after Nicole Scherzinger from Pussycat Dolls.
“See You Later” – Nickname for an unattractive customer.
A hearty thanks to the ladies of Secrets at Covent Garden for sharing their linguistic secrets with us.
