WHERO
whero (noun)
Pronounced: “here oh”
A mashup of “whore” + “hero.” A person—especially a sex worker—who takes the word whore, strips it of its power as an insult, and turns it into a badge for doing some damn good in the world.
A whero may be judged for how they make money while simultaneously feeding people, helping strangers, fighting for causes, supporting their community, or using their platform to make somebody else's life better.
Basically: you called her a whore. Turns out she was busy being a hero.
