RE: MYSTERY STRATEGY

"Meretriculous"? Are you kidding me, Wick? You're going to use a word like that without (apparently) looking it up to make sure you're spelling it correctly? That's showing a lot of confidence, sir.

The word you were looking for was "meretricious," meaning "of, like, or characteristic of a prostitute." Great word.
