Wild West Hero

[above Book has a Storyline concerning a Wheelchair-bound Father..]

There is a nice Hotel in California. The 'Zane Grey' on Catalina Island .[see Expedia etc] Designed in the style of the Arizona 'HOPI' Indian Tribes 'Adobe' or 'Pueblo' Houses.

Zane Grey was a Dentist/Author most famous for 'Riders of the Purple Sage' but like Hemingway was obsessed with Angling of any kind Salt or Freshwater.

He was a Member of the 'Tuna Club' on Catalina that specifies light tackle to try and catch big Fish thereby giving the Fish a sporting chance.

My intent gaze was riveted upon my bait as it skimmed the surface. The swells were long, low, smooth mounds. My bait went out of sight behind one. It was then I saw water fly high and I felt a tug. I jerked so hard I nearly fell over. My bait shot over the top of the swell. Then that swell opened and burst—a bronze back appeared. He missed the hook. Another tuna, also missing, leaped into the air—a fish of one hundred and fifty pounds, glittering green and silver and blue, jaws open, fins stiff, tail”
― Zane Grey, Tales of Fishes

Mullet are notoriously shy and hard to catch- but its not impossible it just takes patience.

Here in Liverpool, a 'Mersey Brown Trout' is another name for a Turd.. lol..

Apparently 'Zane' ? His First name was Pearl.

So You see? a 'Hooker' is not necessarily a Prostitute, but Mental Patients sometimes produce 'Fish Hooks' in Their Artistic Productions..

There really are lots of Street Terms in all countries for 'Hookers'...

in Central America 'Quintana' , is a Spanish Word...and in Theatre 'Maud' means 'Male Prostitute/Effeminate- but to 'Prostitute' also has multiple 'Synonyms'

https://www.merriam-webster.com/thesaurus/prostitute 'Pollute' 'Dishonour' etc

some different expressions and very amusing Place names in York England

'Gropecunt Lane' for example and so on, and in USA San Francisco has many Streets named after Whores...

Although she doesn’t have a street named after her, I’d be remiss to omit Madam Gabrielle of the happily named Lovely Flea, and the notoriously vile Red Rooster run by Madam Lazarene, who was one of the first Madams to install peep-holes in her rooms.

a 'Magdalene' is also occasionally used, as is 'Gigolo' ...but 'Whore' somehow fits the Bill best in My Opinion.. A cheap Slut really is...An Actor.

A 'Hookah' Pipe and [Lassi]'Bhanging' are something different altogether...but obviously I'm not a Bowler..
