    It means the same as "owned/wasted the clergy"

    It's a beautiful word isn't it. :P

    if you look at your keyboard you'll see that p is next to o. It's a typo turned lingo.
    I've got a TV, and I'm not afraid to use it

    Oh, I see, thanks.

    owned/wasted/owned... but why one word two times, hm, basurero, you probably meant "owned, then wasted, then owned again?"
    Please correct my mistakes if you can, especially article usage.

    Someone please clarify.
    When I first read your sentence "the slut served the clergy", I understood what you meant, I just worded it the way I did to express how I would have said it. For one, the use of the word "slut" is not very eloquent.
    As far as the meaning of "served" , In the context of the movie, I wouldn't use the word Served in this way. The original quote "Goldie worked the clergy" makes more sense. Because Goldie is a prostitute, it is implied that when she has "worked" the Clergy, she has sold them her sexual favors.

    In a different context than the movie "she served the Clergy" would mean- She worked for the Clergy.
    I hope that helps

    Oh, yes, now I see. It was not only "served" but also the word "slut" that confused Бармалей. If I'd said "prostitute" then he probably would've understood me.

    Ok, thank you very much Kirschtorte.

    No! It's pwned, not owned! Pronounced "powhnd"
