Not certain if you were referring to my comment or not, but just in case...
I used the term "attention whore" - a fairly common expression that has absolutely
no sexual connotation whatsoever. An attention whore essentially is someone who craves attention (you can find multiple extended definitions for the term on urban dictionary and other similar sites). When I used the term, I would have assumed that you were familiar with it, but of course there are regional differences in slang.
I would certainly never use the word "whore" to describe someone I've never even met (well, maybe for Paris Hilton
). I typically don't even use that expression for people I
do know in real life - even if they might fit the traditional definition of the word. And I definitely wasn't using the term that way towards you - as I mentioned, it was part of an expression which has an entirely different meaning.
Anyhow, its good to hear that you did take the situation seriously - didn't appear that way from your previous posts on the topic, which I think is why you drew such harsh criticism. As I mentioned, we had a recent case in my area where a 5 year old boy getting off a school bus was killed by a 20-something woman who wasn't paying attention b/c of her cell phone - obviously careless drivers are a touchy topic around here now. It is good to hear that you do take what happened to you seriously and that you did feel bad about it - hopefully the experience will keep you from being involved in a more serious traffic incident in the future. We all have to learn from our mistakes, right?
