I do, However, I imagine the people out here are too dense to understand the meaning of words or think words possess an entirely different meaning than their actual definition.
Except that we've agreed that Slut can and does mean "promiscuous woman", so I'm not sure there's all that much misunderstanding about the meaning of the word?
The next step is to engage in a torrid debate, with much looking-up of online dictionaries, over the definition of promiscuous.
I'm going to stick my neck out, and say that the term is most often used to describe a woman who likes to fuck a lot. It doesn't necesarily imply she'll fuck anything, just that she likes to fuck.
And what the fuck is wrong with that?
Dictionaries are records of the ways in which words are used. The way we speak defines their contents, not vice versa. That said, for most people, most of the time, 'slut' is a pejorative term, regardless of whether or not we think it's OK for women to fuck a lot.
Except for one occasion (when one hideous old baggage on the Mistress forum used the word as a term of contempt), I've liked its use when applied to me. But I wouldn't use it to a woman, exactly because of that more widespread, pejorative usage when applied to them (which extends a long way back in history, too). When applied to myself, though *by the right person* the pejorative sense of it only adds to the fun. [;)]
