为什么John有嫖客的意思?有没有什么典故?
The customers of prostitutes are known as johns or tricks in North America and punters in the British Isles.These slang terms and acronyms are used among both prostitutes and law enforcement for persons who solicit prostitutes.The term john may have originated from the customer practice of giving their name as "John",a common name in English-speaking countries,in an effort to maintain anonymity.In some places,men who drive around red-light districts for the purpose of soliciting prostitutes are also known as kerb crawlers.
因为嫖客自我介绍的时候都说自己叫做John.怕被别人知道真实姓名
