'Prostitute' or 'Prossie' - What are your feelings about these words...

[Nova70]

I really don't think the term prossie is derogatory certainly not in the same way as words like slag, slut or whore etc it's obviously just the shortened/lazy version of prostitute I simply find it childish because it is a word I used as a child and I think I sound silly using it, I doubt even those who use it online actually use it in the presence of or in communication with wgs.
