Line 56:

*** "Boston Brahmins" were prim, proper, and probably born knowing the Blue Laws, attributed (accurately or not) to their Puritan ancestors. There's also the expression [[Banned in China|"banned in Boston"]], implying something was especially racy. A [[Dead Horse Trope]] now, by and large, thanks in part to a huge influx of Irish and Italian immigrants, two very Catholic ethnicities that absolutely horrified the genteel "real" Bostonians (all those kids - what ''must'' have they been up to?).

** A mangled variation in the Carolyn Mark song "Honest Woman" goes: "they want a whore in the kitchen, a wife in the bedroom, and a saint to live on in their minds."

** Another variation is found in [[Ludacris]]' verse in "Yeah!" by [[Usher]] ~~feat.~~ [[Lil Jon]]: "We want a lady in the street but a freak in the bed that say (Yeah! Yeah!)"

** Another variation is found in [[Ludacris]]' verse in "Yeah" by [[Usher]] (also featuring [[Lil Jon]]): "We want a lady in the street but a freak in the bed that say (Yeah! Yeah!)"

** Roman satirist Martial wrote "If you enjoy being a prude so much, be one all day long. but at night, I want you to be my [[High-Class Call Girl|high-priced hooker.]]"

* This was supposedly true for Messalina, Emperor Claudius's wife, who if Suetonius is to be believed, left the palace at night to work as a prostitute.
