tramp is a derogatory term towards women – you are doing your job, which apparently requires some creative sales. You’re a good person Lila, however, you might need to reconsider your career if causes a strong moral dilemma.
Larry Hart was using the term in its earlier meaning – a migrant worker. In the specific case, the character in Pal Joey was asserting her independence of society’s imposed stereotype.
Women getting the bad names while the men get good names they are both in the same action. One thing to remove from the lexicon. Sexist identifiers that crap on women by men.

“Hates California, it’s cold and it’s damp”
Clearly, he’d been to the north-coastal area of the Peoples’ Republic of California….
