This is not at all inspired by that annoying sf_drama post. My vote goes to slut, because not only do I fucking hate that word and any variation of it, but I find insults about sexual history particularly offensive.

I SHOULD POST ABOUT HALLOWEEN but there's really nothing to say. I might dress up as something and hand out candy but I don't know, man, I'm just hanging out on the couch.

Edit: DUDE I AM BANNED FROM cf_hardcore. THIS IS WITHOUT CAUSE. I DEMAND A RECOUNT.

I had a hard time choosing between whore and cunt, but I eventually went with whore. It's a lot more pervasive and casually used, and when it's used as a slur on personality, it manages to combine an insult, a commentary on her sexual proclivities, and degradation of sex workers all in one. Plus it contributes to the whole "women have some, men get/pay for some" thingit and my misogynist uncle uses it to describe pretty much every female celebrity and just eww eww eww.

I don't actually really mind whore when it's used literally, as a slang term for prostitute. When it's used interchangeably for slut it really fucking bothers me, and when people use it to call prostitutes sluts it still pisses me off a lot, but I sort of judge that on the ... tone. If that makes sense.

It does make sense! Whore as a word for prostitute is fine - I just usually don't hear it used that way. Usually it's "I hate Brittany Spears, she's such a whore."
