Dear jheem: A still better synonym for "stripper":
"exuviatrix"

A still better synonym for "stripper": "exuviatrix"

The verb is exuo, -exuere, exui, exutum, so a female stripper would be exutrix, while her Chippendale coworker would be exutor.

Thanks jheem. So avoid having an exutrix for your
executrix. She might take off with all the dough.
