Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I do use the word "slutty" but more as a modifier than as a descriptor. For example, I wouldn't call a woman slutty for sleeping with a number of men indiscriminately. But I would definitely describe Johnny Thunders' guitar sound as slutty: cheaply appealing, dirty, aggressive, squawking.

Hayden, I'm sorry to hear about your friends and old neighborhood getting so buffetted by the twisters. Keep your head down, buddy.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

So that's why you were asking which was the most relevant criteria, numbers or discrimiting taste?

No, it was because I saw a discussion everywhere where a guy was being lambasted (in absentia) for calling women sluts because they'd slept with a large number of people. And I disagreed-he was calling them sluts because they slept with people he disapproved of. Now, still a douchewad, but just a different argument.

The application of it to me was just because Jesse pretty much called out my sex life in precise words.

I have heard the term male slut pretty regularly.

In my experience, Jimmy's just been called a slut on rare occasions, but never a male slut. Just a slut, *if* he's being judged for sleeping around and around.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

In my mind, I think of "slutty" as a description of a woman's clothes instead of her behavior. I don't know any women who I'd consider sluts for their behavior.

OMG, rage-blackout.

But I'm bringing negative associations there--I should not assume. I just don't think clothes can be slutty. Suggestive, yes, but even that is pretty subjective and prone to problems.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I did not mean to! I was trying to make up a fake example! Sorry.

Nice after the fact attempt at a coverup, Cowgirl.

Developer, why did you go ahead with IE-only modifications when we *just* got the entire site cross-browser compatible?

Well, it's nothing I'd ever say. Just the connotation in my mind.

I would also describe clothes as slutty, and have a neutral feeling about that. Like Halloween costumes.

Yeah, me too.
