> It's an accurate definition.

Let's google "whore definition" :

> noun, derogatory, a prostitute.

She's not a prostitute (you can google that definition too), so it's not an accurate definition. And, as you're keen on definitions, it's defined as derogatory, so that really does indicate at least meanness of spirit in the writer, yourself, and "a lot of other people".

> I knew someone who loves to be offended by everything...

Personally, I'm not offended by "everything", and when I am offended, I don't enjoy it. His statement simply was offensive.

> as soon as I read that sentence in the review...

You clearly show a level of awareness of what is potentially offensive. Perhaps you could try using a little empathy towards others when you come across something that triggers that awareness, and you might find yourself enlightened.
