Slut is a vulgar term used to describe a woman considered by peers and the community as having loose sexual morals. It is more often used to describe women who are considered promiscuous. It is an offensive term and is generally used to shame women who have modern views about sexual relationships. This is referred to as “slut-shaming” which has resulted in women reclaiming the word in defense of slut-shamed women.
