Clue is : It means sex in this pub - I see mum hustling around. The answer is euphemism. "I see mum" anag. around ph. Is this a shortening of public house? Baffled.

Yes, PH is an abbreviation for Public House (pub)
"It" is a euphemism for "sex"

Thanks jazzgirl. One loses touch with modern usage as you get older. When I was young an "It girl" certainly wasn't what you might take her for today.

True, despard :) The original IT girl was Clara Bow
