Well lets get something straight right now - If you were a hooker you would be the first to know about it and wouldn't need to be online asking anyone about it. This would more than likely indicate to most people that you are not a hooker. That said - Sometimes it's just a not nice name that people may call other people. Don't worry about it :))

A prostitute. Someone who has sex for money. It's a nickname, and very derogatory. I joke around with some friends and call them a hooker- but that's all in good fun and we all know it. (They sleep around alot, so I give them a hard time.) Outside of that, it's a very mean thing to say to someone.

From dictionary.com: hook·er –noun 1. a person or thing that hooks. 2. Slang. prostitute. 3. Slang. a large drink of liquor. 4. Slang. a concealed problem, flaw, or drawback; a catch. 5. Rugby. a player who hooks the ball in the front line of scrummage. 6. (initial capital letter) Offensive. an Amish Mennonite. hook·er (hŏŏk'É™r) n. A single-masted fishing smack used off the coast of Ireland. An old worn-out or clumsy ship. Some will claim that the term "hooker" as it pertains to prostitution is based on working girls who followed Civil War Union General Joseph Hooker's corps. Dictionary.com offers this rebuttal: "In his Personal Memoirs Ulysses S. Grant described Maj. Gen. Joseph Hooker as "a dangerous man ... not subordinate to his superiors." Hooker had his faults. He may indeed have been insubordinate; he was undoubtedly an erratic leader. But "Fighting Joe" Hooker is often accused of one thing he certainly did not do: he did not give his name to prostitutes. According to a popular story, the men under Hooker's command during the Civil War were a particularly wild bunch, and would spend much of their time in brothels when on leave. For this reason, as the story goes, prostitutes came to be known as hookers. However attractive this theory may be, it cannot be true. The word hooker with the sense "prostitute" is already recorded before the Civil War. As early as 1845 it is found in North Carolina, as reported in Norman Ellsworth Eliason's Tarheel Talk; an Historical Study of the English Language in North Carolina to 1860, published in 1956. It also appears in the second edition of John Russell Bartlett's Dictionary of Americanisms, published in 1859, where it is defined as "a strumpet, a sailor's trull." Etymologically, it is most likely that hooker is simply "one who hooks." The term portrays a prostitute as a person who hooks, or snares, clients."

A prostitute is what is usually meant, unless you are a fisherman.

Your question is proof positive that HOOKER is not known all over. Eliason's book TARHEEL TALK 1956 supposedly debunked the connection with Civil War Joseph Hooker. Eliason was ridiculously wrong. The Hookers in his source, a student's letter, are hot chicks who did it for fun and for free. That's the opposite of prostitution. "Prostitute" is the word the same student uses to refer to whores. The old sailors' metaphor links good looking vessels and women. Hooker-debunkers are clueless copy-cats who never look at primary sources. Xaviera Hollander (The Happy Hooker 1972) popularized the word. Only after the Civil War did the H-word find its way into underworld slang and is first attested only in the twilight years of Civil War soldiers. Xaviera probably got the word from Steinbeck's East of Eden.

Traditionally speaking, Hooker is slang for Prostitute. Seems these days though, I see a lot of towing businesses taking the term and applying it to the tow trucks. I've started seeing "Professional Hooker" on quite a few tow trucks lately.

Hmm. Could be he hopes you are a prostitute. Either because he's interested in you (for *illegal* sex) or wants to have leverage against you. Or not. I'm just speculating. But it is an improper thing to suggest to anyone. If I knew/believed that someone was a prostitute, I'd keep it to myself.

A prostitute, a call girl, a street walker, an 'escort', a strumpet these are all terms that are the same as a hooker.
