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?

Then there's dictionary.com...which is identical. LP "MC" wrote: What dictionary are you using? Cheers Lady Pilot wrote: "MC" wrote: Hussy: Saucy, mischievous, brazen. Yep, I'd say you are a hussy -as a matter of public record. The word also means immoral. Flirting is immoral? hmmm LP |
