Default Departure Soon Come...

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?

Cheers

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.

Yep, I'd say you are a hussy -as a matter of public record.


The word also means immoral. Flirting is immoral? hmmm
