yeah, people are fuckers.
true story: two years ago (or so) i met a girl down in charleston sc; we'll call her doe. her best friend was/is a guy named (for the purposes of this thread) tralgon. so, its tralgon's b-day and after meeting / swapping phone numbers i take off with some friends. call the next day. get together about two weeks later, the 3 of us go out drinking. early morning waffle house. go to my buddy's place, buddy is out of town, i have house to myself. so put tralgon into a bed, doe and i proceed to hook up. next morning tralgon comes down stairs to the tangle that is doe and i on the couch, and says "come on slut, i've got to get moving" to which i instinctively replied "what???" before i realized he wasn't talking to me.
so i don't generally use the term for women i don't know somewhat and have an idea of what they're doing, why they're doing it, etc. if i do use it for a woman i don't know, its usually said as a compliment. "who, that girl? she strikes me as just the type of slut i'd like to meet." i just can't equate promiscuity with bad. i mean, do you want a woman who knows the next step in the routine or not? preferably one who can correct your technique or open new doors. those are great women, and i salute all of you!
