That's for a john buying a whore. Why not stick with a standard figure of speech like "value for the money?" I say this because I had to listen to a tirade from a person of African ancestry who decided to join the "PC" bandwagon over my use of the figure of speech "jungle law," well over 20 years after I heard of and started using THAT figure of speech. His assertion is that the origin of said figure of speech is how racist white folks in the South described the governance of black folks amongst themselves. Needless to say, I have a differing opinion based on the facts I had at hand.
