Mild-mannered librarian by day. . . slightly less mild-mannered librarian by night.
I believe the Alliance-approved term is "companion."
ReplyDeleteHow about one of my favourite words, "trollop"?
ReplyDeleteI briefly considered "harlot" and "strumpet" before settling on "slattern."
ReplyDeletestrumpet is another one of my prized words. slattern is one I can't quite get into.. don't know why not- well done though.
