You know, there is a little line between reasonable debate and flame, and anytime the word "whore" appears, I have to go and re-draw the damn thing over the scorch marks.
It's getting disgusting; everyone and everything is a "whore" now, apparently.
First it was jetwhores. Okay, cool, they only fly, they can't shoot it out, and they keep effing bombing the carrier and the stupid island with those damn J10s... alright, "jetwhore" is a sufficiently appropriate name, although "nincompoop with a joystick" might be a better choice.
Then it was armor-whores. You know, the guy camping just outside your uncap, shelling you with HEAT rounds while you tried to find which way was up because of the "shock" effect on your screen. Well, that certainly is "whorish", if any sort of of asshat behavior is the prerequisite for being a whore. I mean, those jezebels down on Third and Main are always pushing homeless guys off their benches. Personally, I would call both the addled prostitute and the moron in the armor "bastards", not whores. After all, being a whore is a bad career decision, being a jackass is a personality trait.
After this were the 'nadewhores, whose primary concern seems to be lying outside of the spawn winging grenades and resupplying ad infinitum. Again, hardly whores, unless prostitutes have taken to projecting syphillis like some bizarre supervillain. These are not whores, but the little brethren of the bastards shelling the spawn with the LAV-25, and the only reason they aren't in the LAV-25 is because they were slow on the draw.
And there are the heliwhores, which is an awesome name for a band, might I say. Now, heliwhores come in two varieties, the six dipzhits zipping around Mashtuur in the Hawk before it was nerfed, and the unholy Havoc team. Maybe the Mash guys were whores, if they only played Mash and only flew/gunned/repaired in the Hawk... but then again, that would actually make them "Blackhawk Pimps", not whores, and due to some befuddling urban connotation, "pimp" is a good thing to some people, so I'd just call them nine year olds.
The Havoc team, on the other hand, are probably not whores, but simply far too terrifying to comprehend. I can't tell you the number of times in Sharqi where I've been convinced that Cthulhu was rising from the deep of the waters, only for it to be the Havoc poking it's autocannon over the ridge. Nevertheless, I was still gripped in stupor, although it may just have been the shock from the cannon. Again, if they can only fly the Havoc on a no-jet map, then they aren't whores, they just suck at life. Find a new server, or slam the Cobra into them and watch them go ballistic on global chat because you rammed them.
Now, howeverm we've breached the bounds into a new realm of whorishness (is that a word?) since 1.3. In this brave new world, no longer are whores merely limitted to the few players in the good vehicles. Now, it is truly an equal opportunity battlefield, and anyone can be a whore! In fact, most people are, and you can be one two, merely by killing someone with something... anything.
Kill an aircraft?
STUPID AA WHORE! (The freg? I'm sitting in a sandbag crosshair, waiting for some sniper to put one between my eyes, or for some F15E gunner to COMPLETELY waste resources by pounding a Maverick into my chest.)
Kill someone with the SRAW/ERYX?
Tubing whore! (God help you if you did it at anything less than extreme range, or you're a noob t00bing whore. And, God help you if you do at any more than five feet, because you're a rocket-sniping whore. Either way you're boned, so just stick with that PP-19 P.O.S. you have in your pocket, and die at them for a while.)
Use a Machine Gun?
PKM WHORE!
Heal someone?
Mediwhore! How dare you fulfill the function of your class.
Don't be a jet/armor whore?
INFANTRY WHORE!
Yes, my friends, the 50-odd players not whizzing round the map in a vehicle are whores. There are far more whores than customers on these BF2 maps, and prices are falling for services.
The only class I haven't seen called a whore is the engineer, and that's probably because he's being run over.
So let's face it, we're all point-whores, since doing anything but dieing makes you a complete hooker. In fact, I'm willing to bet that someone out there has called someone else a "dieing whore", thus completing the cycle.
The word is pointless. It is meaningless. Since we're all whores now, calling someone a whore is about as jawdropping as calling someone a "doodyhead", and requires just about as much mental and emotional developement. So let's call it quits, let's get creative. There are plenty of words in the English language that can be used to insult one's sexual behavior, and I for one am more than willing to reach out into other cultures to find more.
So grow up, get a better vocabulary, and the next time you want to call someone a whore, try and remember, you're a whore too, and so's the streetwalker on Main Street. So please don't insult her by proxy, she's just trying to make a living.
And if you must call someone a whore, might I recommend these lovely synonyms:
*Bee-atch
*Bawd
*Call Girl
*Courtesan
*Escort
*Fallen Woman
*Floozy
*Harlot
*Ho
*Hooker
*Hussy
*Jezebel
*Moll
*Skank
*Slattern
*Slut
*Street Walker
*Strumpet
*Tart
*Tramp
*Trollop
*... and many more! There are hundreds of years of vocabulary built up, why stick to only one?
