You Slut, You Whore, You Prostitue??

I may not be much on grammar but I do love the English language. I love the play on words that some people use and I love finding the meaning to words.  Bob studied Latin in high school and since then, I've also been interested in the origin of a word. To find a new word and actually be able to use it daily, makes my heart sing.

The words.... slut, whore, and prostitute... has always given me cause to go back to the dictionary and rethink their use . My girlfriends and I have had many conversations on them. 

According to dictionary.com the meaning of these words are as follows:

SLUT :

1. a dirty, slovenly woman.

2. an immoral or dissolute woman; prostitute.

 

WHORE: 

1. a woman who engages in promiscuous sexual intercourse, usually for money; prostitute; harlot; strumpet.

 

Prostitute: 

1. a woman who engages in sexual intercourse for money; whore; harlot.

2. a person who willingly uses his or her talent or ability in a base and unworthy way, usually for money.

 

I can remember when I first met The Engineer, my mom said to me, "you'll never make a good prostitue.". I looked at her in a puzzled, but not surprised, fashion and asked her why not. She said, "because you give it away." Well, we all know what "it" is and I was never sure that was true, but......

 

Probably a year into our relationship, a friend of mine was moving to Germany and couldn't take her 2nd car. It was a 65 Mercedes. It was old and beat up. She only wanted $300 for it. The Engineer bought it for me. So when my mom asked why he had done that I casually said "back pay!". She gasped.... hey! What do mom's know anyhow??? I know, I know.....300 dollars is a small amount for a year's worth of sex. What can I say....I'm cheap!! Right?

On to the meaning of the 3 words..............

In my humble opinion the real meaning should read:

Slut: 

one who will have sex with anything.  

 

Whore:

one who has sex for pleasure and may sometimes get paid.

 

Prostitute: 

what we all are in one way or other (definition 2)

There are other words I could throw in here like, you hussy, you strumpet. Why you, you harlot, you tramp....

 

But none of them sounds so good as  YOU  BITCH! YOU SLUT! YOU WHORE!! Ever been to the Howl at the Moon Saloon? You'll hear this chant when they sing different songs. When we went to the one in Miami,  I won a bumper sticker (for MY bumper)  for doing a line dance to New York, New York!!

 

 

 

oops off topic............

 

 

 

You can call me a whore if you wish. I won't be offended!
