Pêga
I would like to know how "pêga" which has the meaning of slut, has a direct meaning into the actual European Portuguese since "pega" has the meaning on the matters of kitchen in order to hold the hot pans. That is how both are written nowadays.
Thank you,
Eduardo

James turned to his right. A whore was smoking a cigarette, examining him from head to toe. James put the evil grin on his face and came closer to the woman. Thirty one, played like a puppet by everyone, bored of her situation.
