I would also argue that "whores and scoundrels" is more inclusive. You can be either one regardless of your parts or gender identity.
After further ruminating on this thought:
Dear Mr. Vernon, we accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it was we did wrong. But we think you’re crazy for making us write an essay telling you who we think we are. You see us as you want to see us… In the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions. But what we found out is that each one of us is a whore, and a scoundrel, and a rascal, a ne'er-do-well, and a villain… Does that answer your question? Sincerely yours, the Guild of Calamitous Intent.
Don't you...forget about me..
Forget Reddit gold, this deserves a Lemmy Lemon.
Strumpets and Scoundrels sounds more high class and has better alliteration
Strumpets and Scallywags sounds even more high class and has even better alliteration.
My husband has served as an MC for a few fetish or counter-cultural events, and he likes to open with "Welcome, theydies and gentlethem!
One of my favorite insults is to exclude someone from these classes by simply saying their name afterwards:
"Good morning gentlemen, Steve."
Bitches & Bastards?
Viragos and rapscallions.
Trollops and scallywags
I can only hear Geoffrey Rush's captain Barbossa..."Whores and Scoundrels... "
"Bitches and assholes, thank you for coming to tonight's presentation..."
How about hamsters and elderberries.
Fetchez la vache!
Not everyone is incredibly hairy, or a drunkard.
Scoundrels just doesn't have the same sting to it as whore does
Personally I think it's more offensive to call someone a booger eater
Wouldn't the opposite technically be "Gentlemen and Ladies"?
Ladisn't and gentlemen't. Or standies and harshmen.
