Old Whoring

verb: to reminisce, to talk excessively about the past

This actually has nothing to do with Kim Cattrall, but I can never miss an opportunity to insult her. (FYI, there are much much more slutty pictures I could have posted here, but I wouldn't wish her camel toe on my worst enemy)

"Old whoring" is a literal translation from Dutch, which people use in a non-insulting way to refer to reminscing. Reminiscing... What a crappy word that is. So messy. I had to look up the spelling of it for the purposes of this post. However, until now, there isn't a much better way to describe talking longingly about the past. "Old whoring" is an attention-grabbing word that could fill this niche.

I am usure about how this term came into existence. Perhaps it is due to the relaxed attitude of Dutch people towards prostitution that allows the whores to talk openly in public. And let's be honest, anything a whore says about her past is reminscing about better times. But old whoring is not just for old people and/or whores. No, everyone can old-whore. Young, old, male and female. Because whores are just like you and me. They're people, too, naked people who may be willing to pleasure you for a price you negotiate behind a curtain in the VIP booth.



Example Sentence:

"Me and the guys are going to go out later for some beers and some old whoring"



Bonus
A classic older whorer is Abraham Simpson, who once famously said:

"One trick is to tell 'em stories that don't go anywhere, like the time I caught the ferry over to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for my shoe, so, I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. "Give me five bees for a quarter," you'd say. Now, where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn't have white onions because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones.."
