Bordello N Brothel Visits Reading Texts Fathers Eastern

Word bordello
Definition n. A brothel.
Sentence And so, between visits to the bordello and the reading of some texts of the fathers of the Eastern church, the waiting was not burdensome.
Source Baudolino, Umberto Eco, p.285
(I'll admit to adding this word partly because of the hilarious sentence!)
