Client (prostitution) → John (prostitution) – Although the term "john" is sometimes associated with American English, if you do a google search you will find plenty of sources where it is used n british newspapers, Australian and African etc. The term john to describe prostitute's clients seem to have become ubiquitous. As such, it seems that wp:COMMON applies here. 88.104.40.76 ( talk) 14:30, 2 February 2019 (UTC) --Relisting. SITH (talk) 12:54, 10 February 2019 (UTC)
Although this discussion is now closed, I note that "john" in this sense is recognised as an Americanism in two places on Wikipedia: Glossary of American terms not widely used in the United Kingdom and John school. PatGallacher ( talk) 16:43, 6 March 2019 (UTC)
I appreciate the references to the feminist critiques of sex work but those critiques as well as the rest of this article seems entirely heterocentric to me. Tristanbobistan ( talk) 23:56, 8 August 2020 (UTC)
