along with a lot of other socially charged words, slut has a slippery meaning between regions, age groups, and lifestyles. There are some consistent traits to it though...
- It's a judgement dropped on someone else. it's pretty much never a self-proclaimed badge of pride.
-It's never a compliment... there's no good way to take it. even if someone is strong and defiant about being labelled, it's never a title they would have sought.
-It's a strongly charged word. usually the speaker is very upset.
That said, the source of outrage that inspires it is generally different from man to woman. A woman drops it when she feels socially cheated of the interest or attentions of a rival romantic interest... and a guy usually goes to it when they want to comfort their ego after being rejected.
