Help with a word!!!!!!!
|
|
Hello, dear people!!! I have a doubt as regard vocabulary. Yesterday in my adult class, we were talking about � Love and Relationships � and I explained them the meaning of the word �womanizer � to refer to a man who �s always flirting to most or all women around him....but is there a term for women who have the same attittude towards men?? Thank you a lot for helping me whenever I have a doubt!!!! Regards!!!! :)

Unfortunately in this rather sexist world, I can only think of inappropriate derogatory words for this-- "flirt" (which works for both sexes) is the best appropriate one I can come up with at the moment.
( If you want the inappropriate ones just PM me.)
Cheers, Douglas |

Unfortunately, Douglas is all too right. A �womaniser � is more than a flirt - it implies he tries to get the women into bed. Other terms are �a casanova � etc.... none terribly derogatory, but terms for women who do the same thing are quite nasty words e.g. �tart � �slapper � �slag � etc...
A positive one is �Slay Queen �. A slay queen is someone who knocks �em dead. She can take her pick. I should know!  |
