Morphology

too + whorey

The phrase is compositionally built from the intensifier 'too' plus an adjectival form derived from 'whore' (whore + -y), so a learner who knows those constituents can infer 'excessively whore-like' → overly provocative or revealing. Although it's slang and derogatory, the meaning follows a regular morphological pattern and is predictable from the parts.

Etymology

Too whorey comes from the word whore, an old word for a prostitute, plus the ending -y to mean 'like'. It creates the image of clothes that look too much like those worn by sex workers, so people use it to call something 'too revealing' or 'indecent'.
