Three senses?
editI think there are at least three distinct senses to this:
- whore + -ship: synonym of whoredom. (This is the sense we currently have.)
- Blend of whore + Worship: a jocular or derogatory title/form of address. (This might be what the current citation is using it for, given the capitalization and preceding "her".)
- whore + ship / Blend of whore + warship. Not sure the meaning, but there are Google Books hits that use it in a nautical context.
