What is your least favorite euphemism/slur for "woman"?
There are a lot I don't like (and some I do: I have a ridiculous love for "broad," especially when another womanist/feminist woman refers to me affectionately as a broad), but the one that makes my teeth absolutely grind is the dog/fox dichotomy, i.e. an ugly/unsexy woman is a "dog" and a beautiful/sexy woman is a fox. Ugh.
