I don �t know if people often use this word in real life or they don �t, but for me it �s just a nice (a bit mysterious) word. It �s gadzookery. Can you give me your ideas of interesting descriptions, meanings of this word? |

Gadzookery is actually a type of prostitution.
gads: goes from place to place, looking for amusement
hooker: another name for a prostitute, especially popular in the USA
-y: condition
So gadzookery is the type of prostitution a call girl (a prostitute who will go to the place of the client �s choice) practices. The "s" at the end of "gads" is phonetically a "z," and the "h" in hooker undergoes elision. |
