oh, and giggle sugar (which I found via Jezebel.com) has a poll on this very subject complete with a list of great anachronistic insults if you want some inspiration: http://www.gigglesugar.com/1813546

Definately floozy or broad. In fact I may try to use both words by the end of the week. Excellent question.

Mayor Bloomberg wouldn't know what to do with a loose woman, or any woman for that matter, even if he was given a map and instructions.

His idea of a loose woman is his secretary wearing baggy clothing.

That's not the Janice Dickinson way.

they didn't say whore back then? I'm pretty sure Jefferson muttered that at some point.

none of these really sound bad. i think i like jezebel the best. or maybe broad. or dame. or harlot. they're all good. they are also almost all listed in nail polish colors.
