JOHN (PROSTITUTION)

The slang terms "'john'" (North America) or "'punter'" (British Isles) 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.
