As usual most of the attempts at defining a 'slut' are vague, most likely based on specious observation and mean-spirited. Might as well say: 'a slut is a woman I don't like because <insert random judgment on objectional behavior performed by person with vagina here>'

Not that I don't have my own judgments...for instance, I am really turned off by people who describe women as sluts in a derogatory way and I will instantly make a judgment on them and their worldview. So I understand the compulsion to jump to conclusions.

I am a slut. I like the word. It conjures up wonderful, joyous ideas for me. It's an attitude I like and I take no little amount of self-satisfaction from it. How I choose to inhabit it is no one's business but my own.

This is quite delicious...I must incorporate it into something.

b. In playful use, or without serious imputation of bad qualities.
