Why is a prostitute called a brass?

ever done the trombone position?

Brass nail = tail = hooker.

eh?

Was a term used in victorian times when prostitutes use to wear brass cloggs to keep warm in winter.

I thought it was to do with rubbing

Nobody answered the trombone question...

Would that be the slide-trombone or the valve-trombone?

Brass flute = prostitute innit

I  thought it might be horse brass.

Brass Door - ****

It's Brass Nail (tail)

Tail is just a generic word for a bird though really(in the "bit of skirt") category."I'd tail that" etc

One of the few bit's of cockerney slang that is still well used
