Indecent verbal prostitute

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This looks like a hoax, and a previous incarnation of it was speedily deleted under the G3 criterion because of it. The article creator says it is not a hoax; however, I have not been able to find anything on the sole reference in Google Scholar, Google Books, Amazon.com, or WorldCat. I think someone is probably just playing with us. Instead of re-deleting speedily this time, I bring it to AfD to seek consensus. Lady of  Shalott  17:43, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
