What did you just call me?

I was listening to my Myspace music player yesterday, when I heard the song "The Lady Is A Tramp" being sung by Frank Sinatra. Sinatra sings this with a smirk in his voice, and I'm sure when Rodgers and Hart wrote the song..they had to know that there would be an emphasis on the obvious double entendre. In reality, the song is simply about a woman who doesn't fit, and doesn't desire to fit, into what she feels is the snobbery of high society. This got me thinking about how we use certain words and phrases and how we interpret them, depending on who we are talking to or who we are with. This then led me to Tina and Jodi. Or..as they are affectionately known...Tinaho and Hodi. Less than a year ago, I wouldn't have believed that the words Ho, Crackwhore, and yes, even Bitch, could be said with such affection. I think it's incredible that we have all come to know each other so well, that the use of these words, which could have at one time been guaranteed to hurt feelings....now just make us laugh. I mean, come on.....Tina even gets away with saying TinkHOtia! So let's all raise a glass to Tinaho and Hodi...without whom we may never have achieved the Status "Ho"!
