  - if she actually was a call girl, could we maybe omit that in the future. There's no need to disparage them. -- nm - mud Mar 29, 09:56 6
    - "them" meaning call girls -- nm - mud Mar 29, 10:54
    - it's like calling MTG ugly.. there's plenty to attack without resorting to physical features. - colin Mar 29, 09:57 4
