sluttish

Sluttish is an adjective derived from the noun "slut." Historically, the term "slut" has been used pejoratively to describe a person, typically a woman, who is perceived to be promiscuous or sexually indiscriminate. Consequently, "sluttish" carries a similar negative connotation, suggesting behavior that is considered overly sexual or loose.

The use of "sluttish" is highly subjective and often reflects societal judgments and moral standards regarding sexual activity. What one person considers "sluttish" another might view as normal or even empowered sexual expression. The term is frequently employed in contexts of social criticism, gossip, or moral condemnation.

In recent years, there has been a movement among some individuals and groups to reclaim or redefine "slut" and its derivatives, aiming to strip them of their negative power. This reclamation effort seeks to challenge slut-shaming, which is the act of criticizing or demeaning someone for their perceived sexual behavior. However, despite these efforts, the term "sluttish" generally retains its traditional pejorative meaning in common usage. Its application is often seen as judgmental and can contribute to harmful stereotypes about sexuality and gender roles.
