Hillbilly's description is the most accurate.
A cuero is not necesarily a prostitute.
SL*T would be the closest English word.

hillbilly is right. In santiago, if you want a beeper girl (call girl), they ask for a cuero. Sluts who hang at bars and get picked up by men are also cueros. Any slut is a cuero and any hooker is a cuero.
AZB

P.S, cuero is also "leather", ex: handbag made out of cuero.
cuero also means "naked". It all depends on how you use the word.

A hooker is not necessarily a cuero, as there are those who do "it" for financial reasons, and only when in dire need.
A cuero, as Hillbilly said, is easy. It does not necessarily mean that she does it as a profession. Although it is safe to say that a lot of hookers, are cueros, they are not synonimous.

Is there an inescapable nuance between the following expressions?

"oye, t?, buena cuero?"

"oye, t?, cuero malo?"

One thing to consider that "cuero" is mostly applied to females that look or dress in a specific way.

For example a SL*T can be very classy looking girl, but she likes to get down and dirty. Unless you know her she won't be called a cuero because she does not look like one.

In other words being called a cuero is a bad thing even if you are not one.

Unless you are in south America where the meaning is "hot girl".

in some countries Mona (monkey) is a cute girl. ella es una mona (she is a cute girl). In DR Mona is an ugly girl.

una mona es una mona no matter what. Now, if you say "ella es mona" then you are saying she is cute.

Ok, you are right, makes more sense. I have never heard this term used in DR so naturally I didn';t know the proper usage of the word. "Ella es mona" makes a whole lot of sense, however, your usage of the term wouldn't apply to girls in sosua, cabarete and boca chica.

You should see the look on Chirimoyito's face when we go home and people say 'que mono' and 'que guapo' to him. Outrage and confusion.
