Comment on Young people these days only use the word "slut" in dirty talk, such that calling someone a slut in polite company is now unacceptable. The sluts stole the word for themselves. Great job, sluts!

  Calling someone a derogatory term has never been acceptable in polite company. It doesn’t really make sense.

    It’s also wrong people still call women sluts as an insult and the same people are still okay saying that to others.

      I can’t speak for the younger generation but as a millennial it’s used as both for sure.

      Greeting a friend with “hey slut” is fine. Saying that to a stranger would likely not be.

    And slut has never had a positive meaning.

    Am I the only one here that likes sl… promiscuous women??
