These idioms come from brothel jargon. Maybe you won't say them all the time.

Some of today's oral idioms are actually handed down from the previous brothel terms. If you know that they are now said to be these terms, it is really hard to accept.

Brothel women are generally a group with tragic fate, and they are sent away for the sake of their family's livelihood or some unreasonable reasons, and they are reduced to a dusty place. Brothel is basically a high-consumption entertainment place, with music and dance performances and beautiful women. But brothels also have their own jargon, some of which have been handed down and become the mantra of modern people. If you knew these words came from brothels, maybe you wouldn't use them so often.

Of course, some words are similar to "Zhuan Zhu" and "Borrow" in the Six Books, which are slightly different from the original intention.

job-hop

Now, when a person develops cable in one company, he will jump ship to other companies to develop, which is called "job hopping". Using this word at the beginning of a brothel is somewhat similar to "shooting" selected or unpopular ladies in hotels now.

Opening price (at an exchange)

Two women in a brothel are attracted by a guest at the same time, but only one can accompany the guest at this time. At this time, there will be some competition between the two, and the jargon is to "open the market" to see which side can win the competition.

quit

In baseball, one out is a game and a half, and there are three outs. Or in some competitive games, the loser is called the loser. At first, in the jargon of brothel, the guest took a fancy to the brothel woman and "took her out", but soon the guest got bored and sent her back. This time is called "out"
