Bottom girl

Bottom girl, bottom woman, or bottom bitch[1] is a term for a prostitute who sits atop the hierarchy of prostitutes working for a particular pimp.[2] A bottom girl is usually the prostitute who has been with the pimp the longest and consistently makes the most money.[3] Being the bottom girl gives the prostitute status and power over the other women working for her pimp;[3] however, the bottom girl also bears many responsibilities.

In U.S. v. Pipkins,[4] the Eleventh Circuit described the bottom girl's duties as "work[ing] the track in [her pimp's] stead, running interference for and collecting money from the pimp's other prostitutes, [and] look[ing] after the pimp's affairs if the pimp was out of town, incarcerated, or otherwise unavailable."[5] Similarly, the Training Manual of the Hawaiian Prostitution Intervention Program explains that the bottom girl's obligations may include handling finances, and training and recruiting other prostitutes.[3]
