You're right, Juicyjackie (what a lovely handle!) but I just can't get my mind around the word. Not that I want to be politically correct and ban it or anything. I don't like using the word 'whore' in a pejorative way either; a whore is just some-one who trades sex for money and what's wrong with that for a profession? Not far different from, say, a hairdresser. You get good ones & bad ones; people who enjoy their work and give a good time, and others who just grab the money and run. Where potential clients get off being so rude about them?
