The words that were chosen in the slang dictionary were defined to all be derogatory to women. In my case the words are not and I say this because, the words chosen were mean't for the people who are defined this way. If you women are not defined this way, then you have nothing to worry about. Not saying that you were worring about anything, but if you are agaist the words being derogatory to women then you have nothing to worry about.
One of the words was hood hopper. A hood hopper is a person who moves from place to place and is originally from some where else and claims to be from the next place they move to. The second definition of hood hopper is if you were in relation or not with many different people, and claim to be with all of the people and the people happen to be from the same neighborhood. That definition is not mean't only for women, it is mean't for all genders. The reason this word was picked because it is a word that is known in schools and local neighborhoods.
There are even words that were picked that had definitions to the words that didn't make any sense to me. Maybe the reason was I never heard that word in my neck of the woods. That is an example of another kind of slang. The term "neck of the woods". That is short for my neighborhood. But the word that I was talking about I didn't under stand was zonked. I never knew or heard that word as a slang word until we decided to make a slang dictionary. The word zonked means tired, agsausted. That word I would have thought that it mean't being struck by someone or an object. That has nothing to do with being derogatory of any sort but I didn't know the word until then.
There is a word that can only be mean't for women that word is dingy. Which means not that bright for a female. The second meaning is not classy enough for a hip person to date or be friends with. That word can be used for a male but it sounds better defining a woman. There is another word that has the same definition but is mean't to define a male. That word is lame guy.
A guy would be lame if he were not that smart, and not average enogh for that hip lady.
The words that are in the dictionary can be derogatory to women if you say and want them to be. But there are people that think a totally different thought about the words. My whole main point is that if you do theses things then you have to worry about the words being derogatory if not don't let it worry you.
