...or let's look at Cibriani, who didn't seem to be treated much differently from Lee Ann.
I judge him more harshly than her, as he was the one who had children with the spouse he was cheating on. But neither of them retained any respect from me.
Buffy: You tossed that vamp like he was a... little teeny vamp. Riley: You wanna go again? C'mon. I bet this place is just teeming with aerodynamic vampires.

I think I would only use the term slut for someone who tries to sleep with attached people or just throws themselves at people constantly.

Ah-ha! Thank you, msbelle, for articulating the vague thoughts I had about this discussion. I will now go back to using the term slut as a pejorative, and mostly applied to only one person I know. Who is male.

has me wondering if there's a difference between being slutty and being a hussy
(not that I think either of these words is OK to use perjoratively, but I would totally use either jokingly with my friends) I think slut is just easy, and hussy puts it out there and works for it. :)

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

Aha! What's a tramp, then?

Charlie Chaplin?

I could never figure out what made the Lady a tramp (in the song of that title).

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Can you be a hussy and not be brazen?
Tramp = someone who gets to hungry for dinner at 8. i.e., me.

I think she was the same kind of tramp as Charlie Chaplin, Steph. But I could be wrong.

I do think the issue with Tiger, though, was that he was The Good Guy, the Family Man. The other sports figures who commonly sleep with those club girls don't get the public opprobrium that Tiger did. Because they're expected to sleep around, and they certainly don't get castigated for their sexual choices the same way the girls do. Tiger got in trouble for hypocrisy, and for breaking his marriage vows.
I have no idea if there's a discernible difference between "slut" and "tramp", although I have a gut instinct that "tramp" is also a class-based pejorative.

My friends in Tuscaloosa have lost their home and their cats are missing bur the humans are unharmed. Terrifying.
