tart
I know what tart means, in this context (a woman of questionable moral), but I can't find a word for it in Spanish that keeps the image of something edible. Any ideas?

\"TURRONA\" or \"TURRÓN\" are two ways of calling women of low morals that keep the idea of something edible, at least in Argentina.
(TURRÓN: m. Dulce, por lo general, en forma de tableta, hecho de almendras, piñones, avellanas o nueces, tostado todo y mezclado con miel y azúcar).

Bueno, parece que perdí la solfa. Es sobre la mujer completa y no sobre una parte de su anatomía que preguntas. Me parece que te va a ser difícil encontrar en español una bisemia semejante a la de \"tart/whore\". Quizas \"pelleja\", que significa \"prostituta\" y, en ciertas circunstancias, puede resultar comestible. Aunque supongo que no es tan sabrosa como la torta.
