slut

word

/ˈsɫət/
sluht
/slˈʌt/
sluht

Definition

A very offensive insult for a woman, used to shame her for real or imagined sexual behavior. It can also be used more broadly as a cruel, sexist insult.

Usage & Nuances

This is strongly offensive and should be treated as a slur/insult, not a neutral description. It often appears in discussions of sexism, bullying, or 'slut-shaming'; learners are more likely to need to recognize it than to use it. Tone and context matter, and using it about a real person can be deeply hurtful.
