Why do we all quote prices like $ or $.5 etc.?

We all know what it means.

Or people will say 3 greens.....is this supposed to be deceptive? Do we suppose the Feds think it means 3 Asparagus?

Why not just say $150?

I'm with you I have to sit down and think 2 browns? 3 greens? 1 purple? What the hell???
If it's $60 say $60 if it's $200 say $200

$ means a dollar

$.50 means a dollar fifty

Vancouver has some of the best rates on escorts I've ever seen!

IT'S FREAKIN INCREDIBLE!!!!

ps - yah I wish they would just say $200 or $140, like who are they trying to kid? Is it their worried about the police reading the forums? Like maybe the police can't figure out what $.50 means???

 

[Ilovethemall]

exactly my point

If the cops can decipher Al Capone's ledger and toss his ass in the can based on that, I am fairly confident that they can decode what greens and browns are......same thing with the $.5 routine.

I never understood the whole monetary code.....how about we all just use real numbers from now on?

No doubt the color descriptions are totally lost on US pooners.
Or we could go even more arcane and make up names for the other bills in addition to "jade canoes".

I never use that stupid system; I always just state what I paid in normal dollar terms. It's ludicrous to think that LE won't understand terms like "one brown, one red" or "$.5". Besides, what difference does it make whether LE knows how much someone paid? Whether a pooner paid $1 or $1,000, the act is either legal (outcall) technically illegal but low risk(private incall) or totally illegal (MP). The amount paid is irrelevant to the legality.

I think the practice derives from US boards, where they have to be much more wary of LE, and so they use terms like "one Hamilton, three Franklins", etc. It's still idiotic, though.

I don't give a rat's ass about trying to make sure that only 'those in the know' understand what I'm talking about. I just dig that crazy lingo!

I don't think we're cryptic enough. Bring back the Enigma machine; then no one will know this is a hooker board.
