ingot
noun. Derogatory San Francisco slang for a French prostitute or her pimp.
The term is derived from "The Lottery of the Golden Ingots". Late in 1850, the French Government announced the sale of tickets for a national drawing for which 214 prizes would be given, the most lavish being a gold bar worth 400,000 francs, the least a bar worth 1000 francs. The proceeds from the lottery were used to ship five thousand poor French citizens to California where they could start a new life. Louis Napolean had an ulterior purpose, of course: he used the deportation to rid himself of some of his worst Republican critics. More significantly for California, a special effort was made to choose certain undesirables such as streetwalkers and criminals for the relocation. These emigrants quickly set themselves up in the businesses they knew best, much to the chagrin of San Francisco officials.

Ingot
An Ingot is a metal that is solid moulded into simple shape, similar to the final product. It requires a second procedure of shaping, by means of cold/hot working to produce the final product. They involve relatively simple procedures. However this only works for simple objects, such as shaping a bar ingot into a mallet tip. The advantages are low initial costs for producing the moulds. If cold worked, it can also improve hardness in the second procedure, an advantage for such things as the mallet tip. However more input energy is required for the final object if hardness (by cold working) is not required.
