    Oh, stop! Women get to talk about ourselves like this!! They're terms of endearment, for crying out loud! 

    It's really how we recognize our true friends and loved ones. If you can call each other bad names in a loving way, t'is true friendship.

    I prefer floozy because it reminds me of old gangster movies. Cheers!

    It's cute, isn't it?

    I feel like the current common choices are so plain and boring. I say bring back the classics!!

  • Hussy.  That word has some meat on it.

    Nice choice. It makes me think of my sister, hehe. Not in a mean way or anything. :)

    I would choose the specific word appropriate to the particular circumstance - I generally find the language sufficiently rich to provide exactly what I need.
    Of course, if the aim is simply to dangle a string of derogatory invective for the purpose of arousing her wrath to the point of violence, and using that to justify his own wicked intentions, that's a different matter.

    Wow. That's deep. 

    I'm just being silly, after I read or thought of or heard the word "trollop" and kind of became a little obsessed with it.

    Tart. It's derived from "sweetheart", which is a compliment.

    Nice. 

    I did not know that! 

    I'm still trying to get that whole #trollop thing going.

    I like "tramp"! Makes me think of the Disney movie about dogs! :)

    Nice that it's rather gender-neutral, too.
