True Blood: What the hell is a slattern ?

In episode one of season 2, Bill says to Jessica "I need you to go upstairs and get cleaned up...Remove your makeup and make yourself presentable. I will not have you looking like a slattern."

Now of course that gets a quizzical look from Jess, somewhat like the use of " call on you" did with Sookie last season ..he goes on to explain that it is "A, uh...A lady of the evening."

To which Jess responds "Awesome!"
