YOu are the second to ask - maybe I'm wrong, or the person who presented

the workshop on cultural sensitivity I attended recently, was wrong. I

asked a female colleague and she said it is offensive and vulgar to her,

too - it has sex for money connotations it her mind, mine, too. How

do I find out the actual entomology?



It owuld be nice tohave some of the context included so we could figure out

what you're talking about.



Entomology? Better check your dictionary for that word before you include it

in your paper.

This use of "entomology" is obviously one of those offensive idioms!
