I really would advise everyone to calm down and check your facts. "Nithing" merely means a person whose actions have made them an outlaw. It has nothing to do with monsters, sexually inclined or otherwise.

Likewise, "draggle-tailed" merely means untidy it's an adjective, not a noun and has never been a term exclusive to women, nor does any meaningful definition of it include the word "slut".

Maybe, if people can stop becoming hysterical over words they don't fully understand, this discussion could leave the realms of playground bullying and tackle some of the issues that all the drama queens pretend to care so much about.
