The point isn't that the word is dirty or evil - it's just that some of us find it insulting when applied to greek women. You obviously don't. I'm really curious - if you were referred to as a sorositute, you wouldn't be offended? Or would it depend on who did it? If you wouldn't be offended, why not? The word is a combination of "sorority "and "prostitute". "Ho" is short for "whore". The prostitution connection doesn't strike you as demeaning?
