Semantics, schemantics


News organizations refer t0 Tiger Woods' trysts as "mistresses."

Excuse me. "Mistress" denotes a woman you might have a standing weekly date with for a while. Perhaps someone you connect with a bit beyond the boudoir.

It doesn't mean a wham-bam, thank-y0u ma'am that you've fornicated with once or twice or even thrice.

Woods seems to have put his putter in any white woman in his vicinity who looked vaguely or overtly like a porn star. 

So enough already with the "mistress" myth.
