STUCK IN THE PRINTING PRES

So AP News put their foot in it last week, but don't worry I think I've got this for them ...

MISTRESS = an unmarried woman, abbreviation Miss 

That's what I grew up believing ... a woman who slept with another woman's husband KNOWINGLY ((after all, there are some who don't realize at the time what they did)). these women we called "Harlots", "whores", "skanks", "Aunt Gloria" .... oops, sorry ... "tart", "strumpet", "Trollop", "Cathy" ... there I go again ... and of course the less coarse "other woman"

But these replies are awesome!!

I'm sorry, but a woman who knowingly stays in this type of relationship doesn't deserve any respect ... not even if she has a big name, like Katherine Hepburn!
