Streetwalker.
Thanks, Shevek! I remember considering it, but didn't add it for some reason. It definitely fits, though.
vixen
Thanks, plethora!
I think I'm going to have to change the description of this list. It's growing so fast.
Slurry. Moll.
That's a damn fine list of obscure words, sionnach. Leman I remember, but what's leveret?
Thanks, all!
fireship.
charity girl
scrubber, bike.
If you're going to see a callet,
You'd better bring your wallet.
Got an appointment with a dratchel?
Bring money by the satchel.
Callet what ya like, that bar girl not only made me a homemaker and tart baker, she's got me blowen a light-o'-love onto that frigid hellcat of mine.
Translation: She's the femme fatale of her fair sex.
Other, more obscure, words:
callet, giglet, fricatrice, blowen, drassock, dratchel, drazel, cyprian, leman, leveret, mab, slaister, ploot, meretrix, quean are all words for "women of dubious morals", according to Peter Novobatzky and Ammon Shea's "Depraved and Insulting English" (page 92, listed under the entry for fricatrice, which has the additional meanings of lesbian and female genital rubber).
Of these, mab seems familiar from Shakespeare, blowen shows up in one of the translations of the Villon poem , while meretrix is familiar as the root of meretricious.
But I would have guessed "a lake in Switzerland" and "a baby hare" for leman and leveret, respectively. My belief that there is something nasty about the word fricative grows stronger.
slattern, cougar, jade, distaff, wench, crone
Cool, Mercy. Thanks!
Thanks, sionnach. I had xantippe, a variant, on another list. Should've added it here. The rest are gold.
Hell, you're right, bear. I'll make one. I can think of a few words offhand, but I'll make it open so you all can add any I haven't thought of.
True. Or they're just generic insults that people tend to assume the recipient of which is male... I think there are a lot fewer of those, though, Pro. Signed, Too Lazy to Make A List of Them and See.
Insults for men are usually impotence or homosexuality-related.
Isn't it intriguing how there isn't really a companion list for sexually or merely gender-oriented insulting words for men? Hmm...
concubine, courtesan, chippy, strumpet, ho, scold, harridan, xanthippe, soubrette?
I can't believe I forgot that one! It was on my original (scribbled and crumpled) list. Thanks, pterodactyl.
Doxy?
These lists work really well with Wordle.net. Instead of importing the feed I pasted the words in the tags section into the text box. The more time a word is listed, the larger it appears, so I was able to tweak it a bit to show the words I wanted more prominently.
Check out the one I made for this list here.
I like that one! Thanks, whichbe. : )
