I object to whore being painted by the same brush as hillbilly. Whore is not a slur. It is another word for prostitute. There are people who use it derogatorily. However, the term itself is not derogatory. Shit, prostitute isn't exactly a rated G word, either.
“The whore sits shaking her legs … Such a child, such a child, she says … these things should be forbidden by law. But she watches every move eagerly. In her trade, one can’t afford to feel excitement, whores live only when they’ve learned to sell their cunts and not their passions … but I can see emotion coming into her body, her voice is already thick with it.” ~ Henry Miller
