# Prossy Prossy **Prossy** is a given name.
(British, slang) prostitute.
Prossy is British and Australian slang for a prostitute. Considered crude and disrespectful by many. Worth conversations about respectful language regarding sex work. If your kid uses it constantly, ask them where they first heard it, not to police their speech but to understand which online community they are in. Most slang of this kind moves through TikTok and group chats, so seeing it in your child's vocabulary just means they are plugged into normal teen internet culture.

Slang is read by different audiences for very different reasons. The For parents view re-explains the term in plain, non-judgemental language so a caregiver can understand what their child means without needing the surrounding subculture. The For English learners view focuses on register (when it's safe to use), formal alternatives, and common mistakes — what a textbook won't teach you.

Prossy is British and Australian English vulgar slang for a prostitute. Use only when critically discussing language about sex work; the term is widely considered disrespectful. Formal equivalent: "sex worker" (preferred neutral term), "prostitute." Common non-native mistake: using as a neutral descriptor. Modern respectful language prefers "sex worker." Read or listen to the word in context several times before trying it yourself; the right register is harder to learn than the dictionary meaning.
