Hussy: Saucy, mischievous, brazen.
Yep, I'd say you are a hussy -as a matter of public record. Cheers Lady Pilot wrote: "MC" wrote:... I told you she was not to be trusted -a hussy. I'm not a hussy! And Peter reading a book a week isn't 400 books where I live...we only have 52 weeks in a year in the good ole USA. LP |

I wasn't using one until now. I pulled my American Heritage College from
the shelf and it says: 1. A woman considered brazen or immoral. Then there's dictionary.com...which is identical. LP "MC" wrote: What dictionary are you using?

Try using a better dictionary. Here's the current OED:
Hussy: 1. The mistress of a household; a thrifty woman: = HOUSEWIFE 1. Obs. 2. A rustic, rude, opprobrious, or playfully rude mode of addressing a woman. 3. In some rural districts a mere equivalent of Woman, lass; hence, A strong country woman, a female of the lower orders; a woman of low or improper behaviour, or of light or worthless character; an ill-behaved, pert, or mischievous girl; a jade, minx. Also jocularly or in raillery. The bad sense was at first mostly with qualification (light, etc.), or contextual. Note 2!. Now where's the immoral?
