I learned a new word while writing the synopsis for Resurrection Sunday. I first used the phrase "Sexy Woman" to describe my female character. I wanted to use something different. I looked up the phrase "sexy woman," but it wasn't in the dictionary @ http://www.dictionary.com/. I looked up flirt in the dictionary first and then in the thesaurus.
Here are some of the words that were listed as synonyms:
coquette, cruiser*, gold digger, heartbreaker, operator*, philanderer, player, seducer, siren, swinger, tease, trap, trifler, vamp, vixen, wanton, wolf*, wolverine.
The only I really liked was coquette. Most of the other words referred to men. Several of them referred not inanimate objects.
Coquette [koh-ket] is a woman who flirts lightheartedly with men to win their admiration and affection; flirt.
It also means, a woman who makes teasing sexual or romantic overtures.
Here is another definition... a seductive woman who uses her sex appeal to exploit men.
