Strumpets

A word that is not used enough. It's a great word. I'm on a mission today to find any quote that contains the word "strumpet." http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/strumpet

I've recently started watching The Tudors and besides being nothing but eye candy for lusting women, they happened to use the word strumpet last night and then well, my mind couldn't stop repeating the word. It just rolls off the tongue. I think it's even better than your average curse word. It's as if you spit it out. You don't say it, you spit it out.

"There's not a modest maiden elf
But dreads the final Trumpet
Lest half of her should rise herself
And half some sturdy strumpet!" Thomas Hardy


Jack Sparrow: You need to find yourself a girl mate. Or perhaps the reason you practice three hours a day is that you already found one, and are otherwise incapable of wooing said strumpet. You're not a eunuch are you? Pirates of the Caribbean, Johnny Depp.

Oh ya! Hottest Pirate EVER!
