Pimps don't fuck whores. Tricks do. And a whore working in a brothel is, by
definition, low-class.
I've already posted many rants WRT the fact that squares, up to and
including the editors of the OED, don't know shit about pimping, to the
extent that they have no business even discussing it, let alone "defining"
it.

All say, "How hard it is that we have to die!"---a strange complaint to
come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
