In response to Impolite Conversation: Need Regency "guy talk" info, written by Genette on July 05, 1998 at 09:59:57
Actually...not really shocked...just greatly amused Genette! Here you go...
Tart
vixen
wanton
flirt
vamp
trifler
hoyden
Any variation thereof... as in:
What a wonton woman, that Caroline is! ~or~ Lydia Bennet is a determined flirt to be sure! The little tart!
I also think it is a matter of how you reflect it.
On the "looser" and more vulgar side would be...
harlot
strumpet
trollop
Jezebel
I'm sure there were far worse, but for the sake of PG-13 we won't go there.
As far as appearance goes...
"She is a fine picture of a woman."
"That woman is certainly a welcome distraction."
It's just a matter of playing with the words. And it's not as impolite as today's phrases, thankfully! Oh, for the good old days.
Hope this helps. ;-)
