Just heard a new rap term (though particularly sexist)
"Stable", as in the lyric "Gonna add you to my stable of hoes..."

Don't know who the rapper was, but I don't like the image he conjures.

3. "Stable" to signify a "harem" goes WAAAAAY back
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, that usage dates at least to 1937.

1937 . 1940 ‘J. CRAD’ Traders in Women i. 26 He..now runs a ‘stable’ of white women for coloured seamen in Cardiff. 1973 C. & R. MILNER Black Players ii. 35 Many players have several ladies, who constitute their stable. 1979 N. HYND False Flags xi. 91 The consulate maintained a stable of young women..whose only purposes were those of sexual entrapment.
