I remember exactly what she said......she said carefully " a slut is an unkempt woman"
I have always remembered it......especially as in modern usage slut is a little more colourful.
I was moving a new desk from One of the Church councillors' houses to the church when something odd could be felt down the back of my trousers.
It was my pyjama bottoms going south.
With Chris being away, I had not bothered taking them off for a day or two.
I am such a slut
This is my favourite definition of the word slut.....( the more modern meaning of te word)

And what would be the word for 'a man with the morals of a woman'?
DeleteA perfect
DeleteI think that makes me a slut John. Whatever. I did change my knickers today.
ReplyDeleteWell thank the Lord for small mercies
DeleteExcellent! Now i have a comeback for those I know who comment on my propensity to spill food on my shirt.
ReplyDeleteThere are more sluts around than we can shake a stick at
DeleteI have always thought of slut as a feminine noun John (hope none of my feminist friends are reading this!)
ReplyDeleteIn any case it was better than your trousers falling round your ankles.
ReplyDeleteThat's happened before
DeleteMy husband tries to get away with this. If this keeps up, I will have to renovate him.
ReplyDeleteI have been known to wear my pjs when I walk the dog in the morning.
ReplyDeleteI am continually amazed by the number of folks I see walking around in public in their pajamas. When did this become ok?
ReplyDeleteI love it that all that stuff which accumulates under my bed if I don't vacuum is called, 'Slut's Wool'.
ReplyDeleteMy stomach is turning
DeleteWhat? Fluffy stuff turns you stomach more than dog shit and vomit? You are giving woofters a bad name.
DeleteOh, John, you do make my day!!!
ReplyDeleteMy grandson asked what a prostitute was. Hubby asked, "what do you think it is? Grandson replied it's when someone has an artificial arm or leg instead of a real one. Hubby said, That's right!
Years ago my nephew asked me where women have short dark curly hair
DeleteAfter a pause
He said AFRICA,!
A grandchild asks Granddad what 'oral sex' is, and he says, "Oh, your Grandma and me have it all the time."
Delete"Really?" says the child.
"Oh yes. She says, 'Fuck you!' and I say, 'Fuck you too!"
If my children had asked what a slut was, I would have said, Me. I'm a slut.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Not to be nitpicky, but I believe your mother was really defining a "slattern."
ReplyDeleteNigella has a great recipe for Slut Red Raspberry and Chardonnay jelly. I'm not sure what a slut red raspberry is, I just use decent ones from the garden.
ReplyDeleteBetter bred raspberry
DeleteReminds me of the day in my studenty youth when I rose from my bed, leaving my lucky lady to lie in, sleepily pulled on shirt trousers, stuffed my feet into slip-on shoes and staggered towards the newsagent to buy a paper. Things deteriorated when my underpants fell out of one of my trouser legs in full public view.
ReplyDeleteYou slag!
DeleteSally's definition is quite good.
ReplyDeleteAnd I wonder about all the pajamas in public too. Not the way you do it John...
Here in the U.S. it is teen girls and older... wearing the words juicy smack across their ass with tops rolled down almost to almost there.
With fuzzy slippers and teeny tank tops, showing all their bits.
Plus their Mums are right there, Hello ?
cheers, parsnip
I thought that Slut was an abbreviation of Slattern, which means a dirty untidy woman. That will be me after a session gardening, hmmm. A little better then today's meaning I feel.
ReplyDeleteOne and the same pam
DeleteGet that mop out you slut
ReplyDeleteThere are days that I am a slut also. There is nothing more comfortable that a pair of PJs.
ReplyDeleteMy lady says my maa maa Narcissa is like that when she yells very loudly like Tarzan when looking for a buck. Tee hee. She doesn't actually use "that word" but she thinks it. hoo hoo hoo
ReplyDeleteIt's a great word as is slattern. In warmer weather when JoJo wants to have her breakfast outside, i take her dish of cat food out while i'm still in my pajamas. Until the leaves fall off the trees no one can see me, and the next door neighbours don't give a toss so far as i know.
ReplyDeleteMost times when i hear someone use the word slut, it's in reference to a female who's shall we say not to picky in her sex partners. One of those double standard words, as roué or rake doesn't have the condemnation attached.
I meant to tell you that the First Episode of the First Season of Walking Dead was shown last night. My husband was so happy, and is looking forward to Season 5.
ReplyDeleteI thought it shows in the states on Sunday?
DeleteWe get it on Monday!
Such an ugly word !
ReplyDeleteTime to get dressed up for the day
ReplyDeleteNO! I'm too busy drinking gin and eating bon bons.
ReplyDeleteJane x
The only time I don't get dressed first thing in the morning is if I'm too sick to get out of bed! I can't get a thing done in nightclothes!
ReplyDeleteIt was during the sixties when all ladies wore dresses to church. Wellll, 6:30 am mass came awfully early especially in winter. So I started rolling up my pant's legs and wearing a long coat to cover them up. I went up to communion and you guessed it, both legs went south right in front of the altar. I know what you mean: I felt like a slut too.
ReplyDeleteI remember hearing many years ago that husbands want their wives to be a lady in the drawing room, a cook in the kitchen, and a slut in the bedroom. I will let you and Chris sort out the roles.
ReplyDelete"Slut" is an especially insulting word applied only to females - meaning either living in squalor or sleeping around. The equivalent words for men - "slob" and "womaniser" - are somehow much less insulting.
