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!

  Wait, slut was an acceptable word in polite company? What did it used to mean?

    yeah but you used to be able to use it. like if your family friend Margaret was eating five zucchinis at once lengthwise you would say “Margaret, stop being such a courgette slut”. or if a pressure cooker full of oatmeal exploded and covered her face with oatmeal you could say that Margaret got oatmeal bukkaked to explain to the intake nurse at the hospital.

    nowadays you cant say that kind of thing. because of woke.

      Uhhh… nope. The term “slut” has never been considered acceptable in any way or shape where I come from.

      And if you are dumb enough to use the term “bukkake” to any health worker in any setting they’d either think you mad or call security on you… and rightfully so.

    It used to mean a woman who has sex with lots of people, and it was derogatory. You’d call a woman a slut to shame her, because old people hated sex.

      And what do you think it means now?

      You aren’t making any sense here. It’s still not good to call someone that unless it’s a friend or whoever that understands it’s joking or if it’s involving a kink both adults share in.

  hard disagree. Go out and call 20 women sluts and see the reaction.

  Your group of friends or whatever anecdotally only use it like you’re describing. But I have heard it recently being used derogatory

  Slut was never a term used in polite company

  It went from a patriarchal normative, to being reclaimed. Are people down voting over the ambiguity of “polite”? Or because rediscovering the term “reclaimed” isn’t really a shower thought?

    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.
