“What do prostitutes eat before dinner?”/“Whore derves.”
“Hors d’oeuvres” is difficult for many Americans to spell. The term has nothing to do with whores, but there are jokes.
“First the simple whore derves” was printed in The Age (Melbourne, Australia) on February 11, 1978. “What the hell is a whore-derve!” was printed in the book Law Of The Mountain Man (1989) by William W. Johnstone. “who does these derves belong to? Oh the whores” was posted on Twitter by Andy Dandy Shitpost on February 19, 2022. “What are ‘Derves’? I heard the whores love ‘em” was posted on Reddit—3amjokes on March 22, 2022.

Whore derves” was posted on Twitter by Brett Ellison on December 24, 2011. “what do hookers order when they go out to eat? whore’derves” was posted on Twitter by ima xombie on March 9, 2014.

“Floor d’oeuvre” is another jocular “hors d’oeuvre” term.
Wikipedia: Hors d’oeuvre
A hors d’oeuvre (/ɔːr ˈdɜːrv(rə)/ or DURV(-rə); French: hors-d’œuvre [ɔʁ dœvʁ]), appetizer or starter is a small dish served before a meal in European cuisine. Some hors d’oeuvres are served cold, others hot. Hors d’oeuvres may be served at the dinner table as a part of the meal, or they may be served before seating, such as at a reception or cocktail party. Formerly, hors d’oeuvres were also served between courses.
