In older novels or regency romances and westerns, it is pretty common to see hookers referred to as Delilahs. Even in some movies the prostitutes are called Delilah. Outside movies and books, I actually hear it more in everyday speech to refer to someone who is perceived as a two-faced slut. Instead of calling someone a b**** (French word for female dog) people will just say that the person is a Delilah. It does seem to be a term used exclusively for women while a guy would just be called a gigolo or lech.
