I prefer the verb wench to the noun.

She probably won't respond well to you calling her "babe" either..

Exlamation is the word for Chinese policies in Tibet.

Substance McGravitas said...

Fortunately there's constant reinlamation.

Not sure what you mean. In particular or as a general practice? In particular The Enchantress - from Asgard dontcha know - calls mortal women wenches. More generally, Marvel used to footnote extensively, which sold more comics if you wanted to get the "full" story, snapped the reader out of the story and into a sort of ironic distance you could giggle along with, and made each silly story part of a larger universe of silly stories.
