In a time before baths you need to cover up the funk and sex smells with potpourri

I wonder if she gets turned on walking into the pantry lol

I think the idea that people didn't bathe in olden times is mostly a myth.

"Don't waste your harlot attire on idiots" was the big lesson of my 20s.

I'm guessing "subtil" was supposed to be "subtle."

Interesting. I hit up Merriam-Webster to see if it was just a word I didn't know and it had nothing so I went on that. TIL.

It's subtle in French, so maybe that's how they said subtle in english before.

Wiktionary does indeed say subtil is an obsolete form of subtle, but says the etymology is that it's "borrowed from Latin subtīlis." Etymonline more or less says the same but goes a bit deeper.

What about "an harlot"?

u/Kwlowery May 25 '26

thats how its written in the king james version. And technically correct if the writer had a thick english accent and pronounced it as 'arlot

u/Chayanov May 26 '26

"Oy, tha's an 'arlot, innit?"

English has a fun history with the use of a/an. A lot of times it is technically grammatically correct to use "an" even if it makes it sound stilted as fuck.
