He said Whore and Gross. He was judging a theoretical person's sexual activity. But not just judging in his head, but using the words "whore" and "gross" out loud to us.
Bet you can guess if I thought it was inappropriate or not...

could he have been trying to sway your opinions by using those kinds of words? sort of like asking a leading question?

He's speaking my kind of language. I wish I had teachers like that.

Seriously, I'm sure it bothered you though

Not appropriate. Not at all. Oh well, I guess he's proven himself to be a close-minded opinionated ass.

Oh, I know, you could wear a scarlet "A" to class, and see what happens. In fact, get some other men and women to wear them, but never say a word!

I think what your professor said is completely inappropriate, however, I would not say anything to him until the grades are in. My dimestore psychology, and 70's rap group experience says he has some issues to process, and you might not want to get into it.
It's too bad that he let the comment slip (and even worse that he has that opinion) especially if he is a good teacher, because I am sure there are many students who have lost respect for him. Words like that can get a teacher into a lot of trouble. If you like him, otherwise, you could send him a letter after the class has ended, and tell him how disappointed you were. If you don't, you can zing him in the evaluation at the end of the session.
