Put on the red light

created by Adam Walker

(idea) by Adam Walker (1.8 mon) (print)   ?   I like it! Mon Jun 26 2000 at 19:37:41

A term used to describe what prostitutes do on the street corners. They purposely press the walk button to get the green light to change to red, in order to solitict the passing cars.

Usually found in the Red Light District of a city, but could be used anywhere there is a stop light device that has a walk button.

I have been advised to make a note that this may or may not be true, as I can't find where I originally read this. (09/12/06)
