Am I the only one hoping Commander doesn't find this thread?
"Slut" is a word like almost all others - connotation adds to meaning. In pigglet's story, I could argue that it wasn't necessarily a negative; I could also argue the opposite. It is entirely possible it had no meaning and was simply a throw-away line by an irritable, hung-over guy. As some of the women here demonstrated, the use can be incredibly complimentary.
For me, it is another word that I only use when quoting someone else.
