    • 2007, Cynthia Cole Robinson, From the Classroom to the Corner:
      While this is true to a certain degree, it more true among prostitutes with the same pimp, known as wife-in-laws. Though the courtesy is extended to prostitutes who do not have the same pimp as well, it is not extended to the pimpless prostitute.
    • 2012, William Kienzle, Marked for Murder: The Father Koesler Mysteries::
      Oh, the pimps weren't so had. She was luckier than many of the girls in that she had never had a pimp who deserted, or worse, beat her. Nevertheless, for years now she had been pimpless—in the language of her profession, an outlaw.
