Do people use the acronym PaP much?

Society’s perception of women changes all the time. What seemed homely to people in that time might be what we in the twenty-first century think of as hot hot hot. But I just meant hot in the sense of “really pretty and attractive”. It’s mentioned clearly in the text that the two eldest sisters, Jane and Elizabeth, are very pretty.

Sure things would be good for a bachelor land owner with girls like Keira actively hunting husbands but I thought the girls wre supposed to be more homely. At least they didn’t sound hot in the paragraph I read of the novel PaP before I fell asleep.
