has me wondering if there's a difference between being slutty and being a hussy
(not that I think either of these words is OK to use perjoratively, but I would totally use either jokingly with my friends) I think slut is just easy, and hussy puts it out there and works for it. :)

Aha! What's a tramp, then?
I could never figure out what made the Lady a tramp (in the song of that title).
Can you be a hussy and not be brazen?
Tramp = someone who gets to hungry for dinner at 8. i.e., me.
I think she was the same kind of tramp as Charlie Chaplin, Steph. But I could be wrong.
I do think the issue with Tiger, though, was that he was The Good Guy, the Family Man. The other sports figures who commonly sleep with those club girls don't get the public opprobrium that Tiger did. Because they're expected to sleep around, and they certainly don't get castigated for their sexual choices the same way the girls do. Tiger got in trouble for hypocrisy, and for breaking his marriage vows.
I have no idea if there's a discernible difference between "slut" and "tramp", although I have a gut instinct that "tramp" is also a class-based pejorative.
My friends in Tuscaloosa have lost their home and their cats are missing bur the humans are unharmed. Terrifying.
In other news, I just wasted ten minutes trying to figure out if this contractor was using "forbearers" properly in this report, and then gave up and told them to change it to "predecessors". Way less awkward.
Man, this report is written by the company I used to work for, and while the content is okay, the writing sucks. I can't believe they ran it past the tech editor before they sent it to us, so my very first comment is "Have the tech editor review this before you send it back. This is not to your standard."
Too harsh?
