Unneeded but Interesting Synonyms

And potential ways to use them

QUEAN A great word: you can use it and then plead poor spelling. Actually pertaining with unfortunate accuracy to royalty these days, this one isn't meant to relate to uterus wielding ladies plagued by tabloids. Instead, it means:

  1. hussy, broad, brazen woman, shrew, harridan, virago, vixen, Sl. bitch.
  2. prostitute, harlot, strumpet, whore, slut, cocotte, tramp, Mrs. Warren, trollop, wench, hustler, hooker, floozie.

It's unfortunate that the two very different definitions both have such incredibly negative connotations. It reminds me of a joke I once heard:
What's the difference between a slut and a bitch? answer

Why 'bitchy' and promiscuous are so linked, I will never understand. I think that the nicest thing a woman could ever do for me is sleep with me. Get nice

By the way, who the hell is Mrs. Warren, and what did she do to deserve to be a synonym with the rest of these glowing terms?
