“They’re taught to talk that way in the Navy.” - mangeorge
Which reminds me of a couple of Jack Aubrey quotes from Patrick O’Brian’s series that I’ve been looking for an excuse to post:
“Trollops are capital things in port, but they will not do at sea.”
“A simple thing like a cunt-splice will not take a man-of-war’s bosun long.”
And, for balance, my new sig:
[hijack] Bluesman and I love that series, RT. I am on number 8 now, and Bluesman finished the whole thing and is re-reading it now.
If you like O’Brian, another author you may enjoy is George MacDonald Fraser. In particular, his McAuslan series made me laugh so hard I damn near broke a rib.
Be prepared, though, if you read it for the first time on an airplane, your seatmate may request to be moved.

It would appear as though I’ve won this little contest. Please tell me what my prize is.
::Bowing::
Thank you. Thank you.
Lucretia - I just finished H.M.S. Surprise, the second of the series, and am looking forward to reading the rest. (O’Brian wrote about 20 Aubrey/Maturin books, IIRC; I figure it ought to keep me in bedtime and poolside reading for the summer!) I’ll have to check out Fraser, too - thanks for the recommendation!

And what’s so bad about being a strumpet? I mean, maybe we’ve gotten a bad rap in the past few centuries, but who isn’t attracted to a fun-loving, well-sexed, indepedently-minded, nonpossessive free spirit? You can’t just sit on your duff…(unless it’s more accessible, I suppose)…heck, I had the honor of viewing Chief’s ‘sword.’ How lucky can a girl get?

A slut is someone who is getting more sex than you’re able to, and a strumpet is a slut with good business sense.
Otherwise stated, a slut is a strumpet who works on a pro bono publico basis.
I thought a strumpet was a girl who slept around and a slut was a girl who slept with everyone except you…
I think a strumpet’s one of those English pastry things that are good to eat…
…hmmmm…no, that’s ‘crumpet’…
What th’hell, strumpets are good too!
C’mere, darlin! ;
Oh, and if that’s all it takes to get taken advantage of around here, wellllll
Your mothers wear combat boots! Yeah! So there! Nyahhhhh!
Hmmmmmmmmmmm! A Canuck Crumpet! Yummmmmmm!
VB, throwing me over for a Canuck! I’m hurt!
‘Sayna’? Who’s ‘Sayna’?
And ‘Falcone’ too, Kat. At least he chickened out entirely on my name, and just used a military-type abbreviation! 
And, Falcon still has the handcuffs, we may have to use them after all…
I know, Falcon, VB ignored me completely! Some friend he is! pout
ChiefScott starts a thread for strumpets and I’m not invited?
:mad:
:wanders off, pouting:
purp - go get that rope again. I think we need to make some PLANS. (Maybe even for VB, since he ignored us.)
And chrisbar - want to help?
I just need to push my nose in here, and note that though I have not had much time to prove myself, I think that careful consideration of the few posts I have made would prove to no one’s doubt that I personify the term, “trollop.” At the very least, I’m working on it.
Then again, it’s probably foolish of me to openly court the wrath of the gods…<looks up, ducks>
<no, no, not, “looks up, ‘ducks!’”, but <ducking while glancing fearfully upward…>
Do I hear the sounds of a damsel in distress? Hark!
Hamadryad needs a custom sig? Well if you claim to be a trollop then please accept my humble offering:
Dryad: wood nymph. Hamadryad: wood nympho. (the first ever dpr custom sig)
What’s the plan, Falcon? I’m always ready to lend a hand in evil doings. 
chrisbar
Well, let’s see here… We have rope, handcuffs, blindfold… Yo purp! Any ideas??
If you’re really a Scot, why is there a shriveled shelaylea dngling from under your skirt. That makes you Irish.
