According to http://www.yourdictionary.com the definition of wench is this:
"wench (wenc̸h)
noun
- a girl or young woman: now a derogatory or jocular term
- Archaic
- a country girl
- a female servant
- a sexually loose and immoral woman"
Usually is someone calls me a wench I say "Thank You." Because honestly I don't find it offensive. I have been attending the Minnesota Renaissance Festival for almost 20 years. I got married at the Renaissance Festival and when I dress up my main persona is a wench. Back then a wench was more of a peasant, a servant. To me, if I were to have lived back then that's what I would have wanted to be! I don't think I would have wanted to be Royalty. There's too much responsibility, too many people watching what you're doing. But if you were of a lower class no one paid any attention to you! So to all of my "wench friends" out there.. God Save the King! And let's go to the pub!
