It was not an abuse of the word.

Post #154,957 by mmoffitt 5/13/04 8:26:35 AM Reply	It was not an abuse of the word. At least as its meaning is commonly understood: Main Entry: whore Pronunciation: 'hOr, 'hor, 'hur Function: noun Etymology: Middle English hore, from Old English hOre; akin to Old Norse hOra whore, hOrr adulterer, Latin carus dear -- more at CHARITY 1 : a woman who engages in sexual acts for money : PROSTITUTE; also : a promiscuous or immoral woman 2 : a male who engages in sexual acts for money 3 : a venal or unscrupulous person [link\|http://www.merriam-webster.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=whore&x=0&y=0\|http://www.merriam-w...&va=whore&x=0&y=0] The word fits. Unless you disagree that a woman who picks a stranger off the street, takes him to "a hotel I [she] knew well" and screws him is "promiscuous" (aside: how do you suppose she came to know that hotel well?). I made no moral judgement in the use of that word, merely applied the most(?) appropriate noun. I've always been in favor of "calling a spade a spade". ;0) bcnu, Mikem If you can read this, you are not the President.

Post #155,000 by ben_tilly 5/13/04 2:18:56 PM Reply	Desirable to whom? Promiscuous people generally desire promiscuity. As long as everyone involved (where "involved" includes spouses of people involved...) are consenting adults, most people are perfectly fine with that. There is a highly visible minority that wants to regulate morality and is against promiscuity (and many other things). But I don't accept them as the arbitrators of what is and is not acceptable.

Post #155,040 by jbrabeck 5/13/04 5:09:21 PM Reply	It's really simple First time the boy comes over, just make sure he sees you in the bib overalls, sharpening the really huge knife, with the shotgun close by, and the coon dog at your feet. Also helps if Ma is seen walking around with a large pair of tin snips and mentions to the boy what they could be used on/for. ;-)/2 (only half joking!)
Post #155,044 by mmoffitt 5/13/04 5:18:34 PM Reply	If I didn't tell you about my uncle... First date he'd meet the boy at the door and usher him to his (in-home) office. He sat behind his desk, the boy on a chair across from him. He'd reach in a desk drawer and pull out $1,000 cash and put it on the desk. Typical conversation: Uncle: "You know what that is?" Boy: "Money?" Uncle: "Yep, know how much?" Boy: "No, sir." Uncle: "That's 1,000 dollars, boy. Know what I can buy with that?" Boy: "A lot of stuff I guess." Uncle: "Yep, but there's something I can buy with that you probably don't know about. See, for that money I can go hire a drug addict to kill you and your family. If you have sex with my daughter, I'm going to spend that money. I won't miss it - I've already got it set aside. Are we clear on that, boy?" Boy: "Crystal." I swear (and my cousin's husband swears) that's a true story. My cousin knew nothing about this except its effect until she got into college (she rarely got a second date throughout high school despite being the head cheerleader). And my lawyer says it is perfectly legal. Have been thinking about that a lot lately... ;0) bcnu, Mikem If you can read this, you are not the President.

Up until then, you aren't directly linking between "here's what $1k will buy" and "I'm going to spend $1k if you sleep with my daughter."
