What's a Hoochie Mama?

Dear Sisters,

One of my friends frequently calls me a Hoochie Mama. What is a Hoochie Mama? I couldn’t find hoochie in the dictionary? I don't know whether or not I should be offended or not. One of my friends says it is a loose woman.

Jena: I think it may be derived from the term “hooch” which is defined as illegally distilled whisky. Perhaps it is a “mama” or woman who acts like she has consumed hooch.

Michele: I do not think a "hoochie mama" is necessarily a loose woman. I think of a "hoochie mama" as an underdressed or perhaps overdressed woman.

Elana: In my opinion a "hoochie mama" is a woman who dresses provocatively, behaves inappropriately with men, and lets anyone know that she has what it takes to get what she wants from a man. I believe the character played by Julia Roberts in Erin Brockovich could be described as a "hoochie mama."
