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

I think of "slutty" as a description of a woman's clothes instead of her 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.

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

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?

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

OMG, rage-blackout.

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.

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

I have no idea why I'm okay with my sex life being described as slutty and not my clothes, but there you go. The way I dress has nothing to do with anything about sexual availability, and slutty has everything to do with that.

Weird. Someone just asked if "ita" was on the call, but she pronounced it wrong, so I almost didn't speak up. I had to do a quick check to see if there were any soundalikes she could be talking about.

OMG, head, seriously, stop.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

In terms of Halloween costumes, it seems to me that "slutty" is applied to the character one is dressed as, e.g. slutty pumpkin, rather than just being a slutty costume or slutty clothes.

See? Using "slutty" to modify "pumpkin."
