Woman Is The Nigger Of The World
Remember the John Lennon song by that name?
Hold on, rewind. I was sitting here reading Dr. Strange, wherein the Dread Dormammu refers to his sister Umar’s “slatternly eye”. Slatternly? Dictionaries vary, but a “slattern” is most often defined as “an untidy, dirty woman”. Check it out (Google search on “slattern”). You’ll also notice that a heavy metal band is #1 for “slattern.” Rock on.
It is fascinating to me that in addition to “slut”, I now have slat in my arsenal of derogatory terms with which to flog members of my favorite sex. I feel bad for you ladies: the English language really is stacked against you.
This got me curious what sort of returns I’d get from Google on some other unflattering terms. “Nigger jokes” is #3 for a search on “nigger”. Not sure why that surprised me, knowing that Google’s rankings are determined primarily by user behaviour. That depressed me though, so I stopped there.
