sportsman
noun
a pimp US
In the mid-C19, the term referred to a gambler. By mid-C20 it was a somewhat grandiose euphemism for “pimp”.- The change, when the pimp first contemplates it, is usually discussed in one of the after-hours bottle clubs where white and colored pimps come to meet their cohort “sportsmen,” as they call themselves. — Sara Harris, They Sell Sex, p. 103, 1960
- Tonight we have with us one of the greatest sportsmen of the Middlewest. — Babs Gonzales, I Paid My Dues, p. 89, 1967
