(qep’a’ 2019):  A slang term is {qItoy}.

Is there a pun here?  I don't see one.

The 1959 film Vice Raid starred Mamie Van Doren, whose birth name was Joan Lucille *Olander*, as a prostitute.

Incidentally, {qItoy} is probably a reference to the character of "Miss Kitty" from Gunsmoke (a TV show in which William Shatner also made an appearance).
