The More You Know...


Professor Louise S. Monkia here with some interesting information.
"Whore once meant a lover of either sex (and was not negative) and slut and slattern referred to “a person who is negligent of his appearance.” Harlot was “a fellow of either sex” and in Middle English the reference was more frequently to males, and wench was also “a child of either sex.”
