Slut meaning

This is a perfect illustration of the double standard that exists. A man who sleeps with many women is usually called "a player" which doesn't have the negative connotation of "a slut". If you want to insist on the negative nature of this behave, the term "a male whore"or more familiarly "a man slut" is used.

Culture December 16, 2016 By Isabelle Kohn The word "slut" gets thrown around a lot these days, doesn't it? Mostly, it's launched with vitriol towards women who behave like men — women who (gasp) feel empowered by their own sexuality. Yet, while the term is no more than a puny four-letter word, the consequences of it can be dire. Take the example of the 2014 shooting in Santa Barbara where 22-year-old Elliot Rodger killed seven people. Beforehand, he That's a clear-and-present example of slut-shaming, the verb component of the word "slut." It's the practice of calling out women who commit the grave offense of being desireable, yet exercising their right to say no ... or their right to be intimate with (gasp again) who they want. What do we call these women who like to have sex, yet sometimes don't want to have sex with you? Sluts. Shit hurts. But, guess what sluts of the earth? The word "slut" has no real meaning. Linguistically speaking, the Why does this matter? Because to some people, the word cuts like a knife. The way it's used today, it can But, it doesn't have to. Words can be harsh, but they can also mean what you make them mean. And this particular word? It's got so many meanings that its present connotation is much more dilute and ineffective than we know.

One more colorful slang term I gleaned from the British movie I recently watched is slag. In the movie, it was used in curses like, "Fuck-ing dogs! Slags." "Right slag, that one." Now I know via dictionaries that slag means "a loose, promiscuous woman." But there are multiple slang terms for such a woman in American English that have varying levels of vulgarity -- here's how I would rank a couple of them, from least to greatest in vulgarity: skank< slut< ho< bitch< cunt So where does slag fit on this spectrum? Of course, I imagine you'd never hear it on proper television, but is slag barely elided over when someone goofs and says it, kind of how the word bitch is in American English? Or is it a word that a rough group of friends might use around each other casually, sort of how the word motherfucker is in American English, and apparently cunt is in British English? Or perhaps slag is a word that one should prepare for a fight over if one uses it, like cunt in American English? Can't say about the Dextropondians but here in 'Merica, "bitch" is not nearly as bad as the others. If one of my daughters said my wife was acting like a bitch, well, I wouldn't be thrilled, but they'd be in serious, serious trouble if they had used a word like "skank". Partly, it's just that "bitch" means nothing worse than "ill-tempered woman", while the other words have very strong sexual connotations. An actual Bitch - a canine, not a human - displays a couple of behaviors, especially when in hea...

Rather than kill players of opposing teams, the role of healers is to keep their teammates alive. Not everyone is a fan of healers, and so we see the insult heal Team Fortress 2, in response to a comic that pointed out that the Medic healed “most of the server.” Photo: cuddlyxmedics: Medic, you heal slut. http://tumblr.com/x1j1qmbp9t — Cat Bountry (@catbountry) Heal slut spread in 2015, when it took off on 4chan boards about healing classes in games like World of Warcraft and League of Legends. The phrase is pointed and crude for multiple reasons. First, in many video games, the healer is either female or a lightly-armored, non-muscular man. Second, a healer’s job is to keep every person on the team alive, so they are expected to heal as many different people as possible as often as they can (as if sluttishly so). Finally, the characters most often healed are stronger, more durable characters sometimes referred to as tanks. In most video games, tank characters are large, heal slut included.
