About Odesa

Alright, listen up, ya filthy animals. I’m Ron Swanson, research associate, hate everything. Whore’s a word, right? Old as dirt, messy, complicated. Been around forever, like bad whiskey. Used to mean prostitute, straight up, no fluff. Old English “hore,” nasty roots, Germanic filth. Means what it means, but more now. Slang’s taken it, twisted it, stretched it thin. Call someone a whore, you’re mad, or joking. Depends who’s yellin’. I hate that flexibility—pick a lane, damn it.
