Oh, my. I was idly chatting with some friends via email, hitting Reply ALL, and someone's sister's friend's cousin's dogs babysitter or something was on the list. I was talking about teaching, and being excited about being able to maybe buy new clothes this fall for the first time in years. I made a crack about keeping my slutty clothes and my teacher clothes separate, but how with some teachers, MY modest stuff is their slutgear.
So this....person...emails me and says that anyone who even HAD something called slutgear shouldn't be a teacher, and she is of a mind to call my school and report me for moral turpitude.
WHAT THE FUCK!
I am staring at this email in another screen and furiously emailing the other girls, trying to find out who she is.
What should I say to her? That's not my first, second, third or fourth response?

DAG! I'd say, "I'm sorry I don't think we've met so I'm not familiar with your sense of humor but I assume you're joking, right?"

EAT IT!!!!
Okay, seriously -- I'd find out who the Uptight!Random!Girl knows (i.e., how did she get on the e-mail list?), and talk to THAT person.
And also, WTF?!?
Bummer, Erin. The danger of Reply-All, alas.
What's your goal in responding to her?
I'd go with lisah's suggestion.
Tell her it's tasteful slutgear.
"Slutgear" should be trademarked.
Well, like Lisah and Jackie, finding out if she's serious. But it didn't sound like a joke.
I know most all of these girls, but it's a email list for a shower, so there are a couple I don't. But I wouldn't think anyone who is friends with the bride (a slutty teacher herself) would be this CRAXXXXY.
How about "Hi, you don't know me, and you don't know my sense of humor. Please don't equate wisecracking about slutgear with your notions of what it means. Who the hell uses the word "turpitude" these days, anyway?"
Um, I guess that last wouldn't help much....
Ok, ha-ha, that's a funny joke email sent. We shall see.
2 of my GF's don't know her.
Erin, I am pole-axed.
Lisah's suggestion is considerably less wordy and calmer than my own likely response.
