courtesan

[bosoxfan]

My 10 year old step son came home with this word on his spelling list. He has to write the definition and a sentance for it. My wife called my all pissed off but I didn't know what it meant. For others that don't:

Main Entry: cour·te·san
Pronunciation: 'kOr-t&-z&n, 'kor-, -"zan also 'k&r-, -"zän; esp British "kor-t&-'zan
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle French courtisane, from northern Italian dialect form of Italian cortigiana woman courtier, feminine of cortigiano courtier, from corte court, from Latin cohort-, cohors
: a prostitute with a courtly , wealthy, or upper-class clientele

God love the Worcester Public Schools.

One time when I was about six I asked my mother what a prostitute was. She starts trying to delcately explain it until I cut her off and said "Oh, like a hooker."

Maybe you hate the movie... but you have to admit the cinematography was great.
