Thompson	Folklore: 'Not a whore in the house...' (21)	RE: Folklore: 'Not a whore in the house...'	08 Apr 17
"…not a child in the house washed" is universal in Ireland; I'd guess that this is a daring/alcoholic variant. Cute hoors (whores) are certainly politicians, developers, bankers, etc in Ireland; the term used to have a grudging admiration, and as Jim Carroll says the admiration waned when the Celtic Tiger lost its teeth. Even now that it's growing a new set of teeth and claws, there's a certain amount of jaw-clamping when the term is used nowadays.
