Mike S.: I've read that the word Hooker may have also come from Baltimore. Call-girls would hang out on the hook-shaped part of the harbor near Fells Point, where they got the nick-name. Lots of sailors and boat-manufactuering back then in that area to rationalize the claim. I'm not a historian or anything though.
