stripper noun- a striptease dancer (usually female), a performer who undresses creatively for the purpose of entertainment US
Gypsy Rose Lee (Rose Louise Hovick, 1914–70) was, perhaps, the most famous of all strippers; in Gypsy, the musical biography (1962) by Stephen Sondheim, she discovers the word “ecdysiast” to give her job description a veneer of respectability. - Today, most strip women or strippers are called exotic dancers or sometimes topless dancers, though there are subtle distinctions between these appellations among the more artistic of practitioners. — Don B. Wilmeth, The Language of American Popular Entertainment, p. 261, 1981
