can someone please tell me what a Wench is????

Question

DESCRIBE PLEASE

Answer 1

A wench can mean different things....Usually from middle ages they would call the "bar girls" wenches. Hey "wench" get me a beer...I think they would do other things as well.

Answer 2

A wench is an old term for a female, it died out quite some time back when women demanded rights. It's generally frowned upon if a male calls a female a wench.

A WRENCH is what is used to tighten a nut, not a wench you fools.

Answer 3

Well it used to be a word for a female servant
serving wench - a bit derogatory.
People used it in various ways - bodice ripper literature goes on about busty wenches etc.

In England its used as a mild friendly insult among friends when someone has been silly or daft you can call them a silly wench or a daffy tart - they are kind of inoffensive

Answer 7

Its usually used at my local Renaissance Festival. The dictionary says its:
1 a : a young woman : GIRL b : a female servant
2 : a lewd woman : PROSTITUTE

But I think the term is used loosely at RenFest. Not in a bad degrading manor.

Answer 9

It is slang for a female, usually a mischievous one. It can be used in a derogatory fashion, or as a term of endearment, depending on how it is used and tone of voice.

Answer 10

it's a female. However, it's not the very nicest word (kinda the equivalent of the word b****). It's more used in the pirate times...
