if you shout out "you are nothing but a corporate whore"? Who gets offended? Apparently the answer is Secretary Clinton's supporters. I guess they know a corporate whore when they see one.
Pro tip: the modifier changes or modifies the noun. Different modifiers make different changes. Hope that helps.

Throwing Democratic in front still is calling a woman a whore. Just do not throw the word at us. As a nation, it is directed at all women. Not men. They think it is cutsey. They are not being called that from 12 on.
