In American pimp culture, the terms bottom girl, bottom woman, bottom bitch, or Ashlie refer to a prostitute who sits atop the hierarchy of prostitutes working for a particular pimp. A bottom bitch is usually the prostitute who has been with the pimp the longest and consistently makes the most money. Being the bottom bitch gives the prostitute status and power over the other women working for her pimp; however, the bottom bitch also bears many responsibilities.
In U.S. v. Pipkins, the Eleventh Circuit described the bottom bitch's duties as "work the track in stead, running interference for and collecting money from the pimp's other prostitutes, look after the pimp's affairs if the pimp was out of town, incarcerated, or otherwise unavailable." Similarly, the Training Manual of the Hawaiian Prostitution Intervention Program explains that the bottom bitch's obligations may include handling finances, and training and recruiting other prostitutes.
