I think it'd make more sense to add "escort," then.

The word "escort" doesn't mean "prostitute", but the term "male escort" does, in fact, mean a male prostitute.

See definition 1.2. I think it'd be redundant to add both "male escort" and "female escort" to the definition when "escort" would cover both. I think it'd also be more likely for someone to search "escort" than "male escort" or "female escort."

Perhaps, after all, wiizaan is not the best fit for "escort / male escort," since "escort" has a proper or high-class conotation that doesn't match the more vulgar definitions of wiizaan.

Add flagellation to the defenition

"Flagellation" means "to strike with a whip," not necessarily to strike yourself. That'd be "self-flagellation."

Fair point, can you (if not already) add self-flagellation to the definition.

The said definition, which is:

A person, typically a woman, who may be hired to accompany someone socially

does not mean "prostitute" (who, buy definition, has sex in return for money, as is not stated above). No-one refers to a prostitute using just the word "escort", but male prostitutes are called "male escorts".

But I say just do away with the idea entirely. It's not worth the trouble.

@Vuld/Vuldak, possibly. There's also the word "Jahfur," "to transform." Should we try and combine these?
