 Margaret Clap - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Margaret Clap (better known as Mother Clap, died circa 1726) was a woman who ran a brothel for homosexual men in London in the early part of the 18th century.
After a tip off to the local constabulary, Mother Clap's was raided in 1726 and she was sentenced to spend time in the stocks.
Some hold that the name "the clap" is an eponym of "Mother Clap" ("the clap" being a slang term for Gonorrhea) presumably because sexually transmitted diseases were rife among the underground homosexual community in the 18th century.
