What Friggin Year Is This?
 

So I'm listening to the radio and watching TV this morning and i'm thinking - is this 1953? Kobe Bryant admits to ADULTERY! Kobe Bryant is an ADULTERER! Who the hell uses this language - it's 2003. Have you ever described a friend who was cheating on his/her wife/husband that way - "Oh yes, didn't you know, Larry is screwing around behind Sue's back, I knew that cad Larry was an adulterer. And a philanderer too!" Cad, philanderer, adulterer, Jezebel, hussy - words used before anybody on this board was alive.

'Wanton' is another word in the same vein. In the 40's and 50's, you'd see women referred to as a 'wanton woman' - meaning she was a slut or a whore. Divorce cases were decided often on the basis of a woman's wantoness or lack of virtue.

Wanton Soup! :Buck:

Stop being a toilet seat and shut off the tv.

TV is the single most pervasive cultural influence of our time. To ignore it is to be ignorant.

hear that Brian?:Graucho

TNB

Yeah, who speaks English now days? We should all speaker betta ebonics!

i was about to say the same thing.I guess the word adulterer sounds better then cheater or a no good dog

I think you mean dawg...

yeah, dawg is what people under 30 would call him. cheater is what most people I know would call him. nobody uses 'adulterer' - except for media who like to put on airs.
