My textbook gave 'we was half an hour late' as an example. I was wondering whether it extended to other words such as 'wanna' and 'dunno'

Look forward to your help

Would you call it pimping out or whoring out? Lets say my brother is really good at fixing stereos and I have a friend who really needs one fixed so he says he'll give me something if I convince my brother to fix the stereo.

Am I pimping out my brother or whoring out my brother.
