Julia Tavistock Whore ❤️

About London

So, picture this—me, Boris, bumbling librarian now, yeah? Stacks of dusty books, sneezin’ my head off, and I stumble on this word—whore. Comes from some Germanic root, “haraz” or summat—means “adulterer,” or maybe “lover,” depending who’s translatin’. Wild, eh? One minute it’s a bloke’s mistress, next it’s a full-on insult! Makes me laugh, it does—language’s a right mess, like me hair on a windy day. *Cave felis*, as the Romans’d say—beware the cat, or summat daft like that.

I get mad when tourists just skim the surface—they miss the pulse. I got this one time, walkin' down Bridge Street, and a couple of clueless visitors tried to snap pics of the quaint details; I had to step in like, “Yo, get real, there's history in every brick here!” It irked me, but damn, it reminded me how fiercely I love this place.
