Young people these days only use the word "slut" in dirty talk, such that calling someone a slut in polite company is now unacceptable. The sluts stole the word for themselves. Great job, sluts!

You're viewing a single thread.
Wait, slut was an acceptable word in polite company? What did it used to mean?
yeah but you used to be able to use it. like if your family friend Margaret was eating five zucchinis at once lengthwise you would say "Margaret, stop being such a courgette slut". or if a pressure cooker full of oatmeal exploded and covered her face with oatmeal you could say that Margaret got oatmeal bukkaked to explain to the intake nurse at the hospital.
nowadays you cant say that kind of thing. because of woke.
ngl...
Uhhh... nope. The term "slut" has never been considered acceptable in any way or shape where I come from.
And if you are dumb enough to use the term "bukkake" to any health worker in any setting they'd either think you mad or call security on you... and rightfully so.
It used to mean a woman who has sex with lots of people, and it was derogatory. You'd call a woman a slut to shame her, because old people hated sex.
But that's not polite in my book...
It used to be. Politeness is a social construct and changes over time. I could name all sorts of horrible things that used to be polite. And even today it's polite to casually talk about paying for a dead body to be cooked at a restaurant.
Although the ultimate origin of the word slut is unknown, it first appeared in Middle English in 1402 as slutte (AHD), with the meaning of 'dirty, untidy, or slovenly woman'.
It's never been polite. Not sure what you mean.
I miss the old times. Not because of horrible things that are normalized now, but because we had believable bait back then
The fuck are you talking about? It was always used as an insult. Just because more people were willing to call people slits doesn't mean it was actually acceptable in actual polite company.
What horrible thing used to be polite? Kindly telling someone they're a slut?
(honest question, by the way)
And what do you think it means now?
You aren't making any sense here. It's still not good to call someone that unless it's a friend or whoever that understands it's joking or if it's involving a kink both adults share in.
