Whore's Bath

[N2life4]

My grandmother used this expression pertaining to licking
ones thumb and then wiping dirt from the grandchildrens
litle faces..... disgusting yes, but fast and effective.
That would have been over 30-40 years ago.

I'm getting this from "Austin Powers" where the hero
mentions "whore's
bath" as a quick wash of the sexual essentials. I see it
listed in
Urban Dictionary, but that doesn't really mean much. Anyone
heard of
this outside the context of the movie, maybe even prior to
the 1997
movie?
