I give up. If you want to hide behind a dictionary definition then there's no point arguing it. It was a shitty thing to say.

I'm not hiding behind the language. I'm using it.

The guy called two women whores.

Whores.

This is the 21st century not the 17th.

I think you have to admit that what you said was less than tactful, especially when directed at someone who has it pretty rough at the moment and isn't necessarily entirely mentally stable.

That being said, your statement was not offensive at all when taken literally. Some people seem unfamiliar with the idea that the dictionary definition of a word is entirely valid, and there's nothing wrong with using a word in that sense instead of the often localized misuses of the word.
