Jilt shop ''Jilt shop'' is an archaic term for an establishment frequented by B-girls. ==Etymology== ''Jilt'' originally meant "harlot" or "woman who gives hope then dashes it"; ''to jilt'' meant "to deceive (especially after holding out hopes), cheat, trick."〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=jilt )〕 In William Wycherley's ''Love in the Wood'' (1671), II.i.141, Sir Simon complains of a "Mistress of mine...whom I treated to night at the French-house; but as soon as the Jilt had eat up my meat, and drank her two bottles, she run away from me." In the 19th century, George W. Matsell defined "jilt" as "a prostitute who hugs and kisses a countryman while her accomplice robs him."
