Pimp

Madame

A female owner of a brothel or hotel, manager of the women offered. There is no reason to believe that working for a Madame was not as much a form of enslavement as working for a pimp. In some cases women were sold into houses and they lived in a form of slavery to the house, forever having to pay for her room and board, clothing and food at inflated prices that insured her debt to the Madame.

Prostitution

A trade that men and women are employed in for which they exchange money for sexual acts. Notice that I did not say "make money", as it is not always true that men and women performing the acts receive the money.

Prostitute

A Person, more often a woman, who receives profit from sexual service, one who lives partly or wholly on prostitution.(I have a problem with this definition as the prostitute, in the end, does not always receive the money. In brothels there was a coin that was issued to a john that had a monetary value. He would purchase these coins and use them as payment to a prostitute, insuring that she was not the one to receive cash. She was paid by the house.)

Tramp

A prostitute, vagrant or person regarded as promiscuous.
