Insult a term of endearment?

in One & Done: Only child

What do we think about women using words that were/are traditionally insults as a term of endearment?

I mean women calling each other bitch/ whore/ slut/ hooker etc. 

I admit I am "gulity" of it.

What say you?

    I think it depends on who and how it is said. Like if you disagreed with me and i put "boo! you whore!" you would know i was joking and that i actually do not think your a whore.

    I would never say this to my grandma, boss, co worker, mom, MIL, ect LOL

    Right, no I would never call my grandma a whore.

    Yes, that's what I mean-- strictly as a joke/ being playful where all parties involved know a joke is being made.  Do we think it's harmful to womankind?

    No not personally. As long as a woman has respect for herself then there should be no issue IMO.

    I'm totally G rated, so I don't do it, but I do know most people do.  I'd prefer a nice term of endearment over a reformed/reused negative one, but I don't think it's really a big deal assuming you say it to a friend who understands the lingo.  Though, like I said, I'm totally G rated and don't use "bad" words, so I'm a word prude :)


    That's probably a better way to be in general (not using bad words at all) but sometimes, a well placed "bad" word just feels so right!

    I don't get it and it's not my style. None of my friends seem to do it either. And I have quite the potty mouth.

    I don't do it with any of my friends, but if both ladies have an understanding that it's not being used as an insult I don't see an issue with it.

    I don't do it (and I have the mouth of a sailor) but it doesn't bother me. If someone I knew came up to me and said "Hey slut!" I wouldn't be offended. 

    I wouldn't be offended, knowing it was likely meant light heartedly, but I'd definitely get a confused look on my face and be like, what?

    Nope, not a fan. We did it in high school and even though I curse a lot I don't like to call anyone names.

    I just don't use that kind of language unless I am at the construction site for work lol.  Then it mostly guys so it wouldn't apply. 

    In everyday life I am pretty clean with my language and go around saying "oh sugar" and "darn".

     

    Once though my husband heard me talking to the site guys and I think I scared him :).  He says I sounded like a trucker.

    Honestly when I hear other using that with each other I am not a huge fan but would not be super judgey about it either.

    Wow!

    I didn't mean this to be a P & R. 

    I am suprised by how many of you don't curse at all (though I don't consider bitch/ slut/ whore to be curses.)
