I know that I am being a blazen hussy by even suggesting this,
You blazen hussy!
A little bit ago, she called my girl a Blazen Hussy!
You can see the confusion with “blazing”:
the thought of my grandma getting down and dirty is difficult enough to stomach, but to think she was a blazing hussy having sex before marriage – GASP
max thinks hannah is a “blazing hussy” but
Maybe a kiss. Or two. (OVER THE COURSE OF 2 HOURS, I’M NOT A BLAZING HUSSY.)
Shades of “flaming” and “flamboyant” perhaps?
Apparently “brazen” is to do with “brass” and not with “brazier”.

That being said, she went from sweet bubble gum girl to blazon hussy!

It makes you wonder how some people view emblazon: inscribe upon by flame? Or your woodburning kit? A blason was a shield to the Normen, whereon the coat of arms was blazed.
