ORIGINAL: Greatlilbabygirl https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/uk/2002/jan/20/race.world?client=ms-android-att-us No, pretty much universally offensive. You are lying when you say it's any different in the UK. Not universal. And not exclusive either. First entry from Google search - quote:
1. a woman who has many casual sexual partners. synonyms: promiscuous woman; prostitute, whore; slattern; euphemistic: model, escort, masseuse; poule; informal: floozie, bike, pro; informal: scrubber, slag, slapper; informal: tramp, hooker, hustler, roundheel, chippy, skank, puta, hoochie; black Englishho; dated: tart, scarlet woman, loose woman, hussy, woman of ill repute, streetwalker, trollop; archaicharlot, strumpet, wanton, drab, doxy, trull, sloven 2. dated a woman with low standards of cleanliness. So you also think that "model, escort, masseuse;" is derogatory too?? Because that's also part of the meaning. Wiki: Slut is a term for a woman or girl who is considered to have loose sexual morals or who is sexually promiscuous Agreed, it is often used in a derogatory sense, but not exclusively "universally" as you claim. Cambridge Dictionary: Slut (n)"slang disapproving a woman who has sexual relationships with a lot of men without any emotional involvement" Disapproving, yes, but not offensive. And that was just the first 3 entries from my search. It's also not peculiarly British either. If she wants to take it as offensive, that's on her. But I didn't see it as that. I have also shown that it is not universally offensive.
