i'll have to agree, my best friend/roommate and i are now not speaking because we *just* had an argument over the allowability of calling someone in our neighborhood, a friend within my circle of friends, by a slang term is not okay - even if that friend tells me it's okay.

GFY causing drama in real life? that's impressive!

in any case, my *other* roommate is a post-grad theology student so i asked him for the origin of the word "whore" because that sort of thing interests me.

for the sake of the thread i'll throw in the links he sent me:

etymology of the term whore

places in the bible where similar terms were used and what they were used for
