I'm not sure why but I think of slag as being a bit more working class? A certain accent saying it.
Neither should be used on another unless you're certain about how they feel. Slut more people are reclaiming and that's great. I don't know if slag has that ring to it. |

"I think that both are derogatory terms that are offensive and deserve no place in a liberal world."
I think they're both delegator too however , some people seem to see slut as acceptable but slag as an insult! |

I think I'd agree with that! |

"They have their place inside dynamics and consent.
Neither are words you should use casually at or about strangers 💜"
This is the answer, I think they have been used historically as an insult for a liberated woman, using them nowadays can still be taken as an insult without consent.
You call Mrs NW214 a slag, slut or even whore without consent or context then we have a problem. Whisper it in her ear whilst shes being pounded into a mattress then your likely to get an eye roll and a pleasure moan of agreement.   |

Some people associate the word 'slut' with women who aren't very good housewives and have sex with loads of men and 'slag' with women who have sex with loads of men or to describe a by product of coal mining.
I dislike both words used to describe people and the people who use them in a derogatory fashion. If somebody wants to use either term to describe themselves that's up to them. |

Slag = waste products of industry e.g. the powdery coal that cannot be sold or metal shavings that are not used. They are TRASH and go on the slagheap.
Slut or sluttern = a woman who didn't keep a tidy house. To be sluttish was to not clean up thoroughly.
Those meanings still exist but became used by men against women when they wanted to discredit them sexually - she's a slag or a slut.
Some communities use the term slag as trash to describe 'lowlifes' , burglars, scroungers and those without morals etc ...
Neither word has any place in day to day life but they seem quite gentle when used to arouse a willing partner who doesn't take it to heart.
P.S....... I would not like it used toward me in a sexual situation - i've never been aroused by words that suggest there are limitations on my where, when , who with and how many times etc..... nor is sex dirty to me, but I see how it works for people |

I’m aware that some ladies use the word slut or slutty, but the other word (slag) is an offensive insult. I have heard gay people that I’ve worked with call each other the name, but I’d never use it to describe anyone. |

I hate the word slag in all it's forms. I don't appreciate it used in any context, it's an ugly word.
I enjoy some degrading names used in a sexual context with consent, this includes being called a slut, whore, cunt, bitch etc. Consent is absolutely the operative word here. Context is also important. Outside of the right context I don't like them.
I sometimes call myself a slut or self identify that way in a playful context as a woman who loves sex, I feel the word has been slightly reclaimed. Again, it's about context and meaning.
I don't appreciate total strangers calling me degrading names, or people I have not given consent to use those words with me. If anyone does then they get read the riot act. |

"Neither should be used really, why does anyone have call anyone names.
Yes, but what if they came themselves names?"
I'm not a fan of either.
If someone chooses themselves to have it in their username or is happy to be called either, then that's a conscious decision they've made themselves, and entirely their prerogative.
If someone chooses to use it as a label for anyone else then that's not OK.
There's a huge difference between self determination and labelling by others. 🤷♂️ |

I can imagine hearing someone with a Tom Hardy voice usung 'slag' to banter with a mate in full good humour.
I don't think I've heard it used as anything else in decades.
You might hear it if you watched episodes of 70s/80s cop shows.
Sweeney, Minder, anyone? |

Not terms I use as a rule.
But in my tiny mind a slag is someone who will have sex with anyone anywhere at anytime but a slut is someone who just unashamedly loves lots of sex (even if it's with just one person). These apply to both males and females. |

Not a fan of slag ever… slut has a context In a consenting way where a woman gets enjoyment from it and wants to be addressed that way… it was so negative a term for so long it may yet take a while for it to be reclaimed and lose that negative connotation and be seen as a term for a sexually empowered independent woman…. Not something Im particularly comfortable saying to a woman but if she wants me to - to add to a dynamic… |

"Slut gets me wet. Slag gets you punched in the face !  "
I'm clearly a prude but also autistic.
You have to tell me you want me to call you a slag or a slut or um...punch/slapped in the face...
In which case I will probably do it as hard a limp dick. 
I want to get better at being a domme but I'd be lying if I said it didn't make me uncomfortable.
More practice needed in safe spaces. Lol! |

"You often see the terms slag and slut thrown around.
Some have them in their user names
But what's the difference?
What do ladies think?
Can men be slags or sluts?"
I don't like being called a slag or a slut or whore during sexual play. I do like being told I'm a greedy good girl.
However, I do know some people have a kink or fetish for those words and it really turns them on.
My friend with benefits loves me calling him a slut while I use the prostate massager on him.
So yes men can be sluts or slags especially if they want to be in the bottom and/or sub role. |

The origin of the word slag is entirely with reference to waste product or rubbish.
The word slut originally meant a dirty or unkempt woman but changed over time to encompass sexual promiscuity.
From that I would say ‘slag’ is pretty much always derogatory. ‘Slut’ might be an insult or a compliment depending on context and perception.
Personally I love slutty women. They’re perfect! |

That's a brilliant bit of definition.
My mrs will call her self a slut at times due to her lifestyle choice.
But she is not a slag.

To answer the "What's the difference?" part...
"Slag" is a purely British slang term used solely in the UK. I have never heard it used elsewhere that is for sure.
"Slut" on the other hand is very international. Any adult fluent in speaking English anywhere in the world is highly likely to know the word and its meaning. |

Yes that reminds me of old phrases I'd hear when I was really young where it's said a thing is 'ready for the slag heap' |

I regularly use slut for myself… I even have it as a tattoo. But, and it’s a big but… it doesn’t give anyone else the right to use it to me. They’ll know if they can.
Slag as a derogatory term went out of fashion not long after the banging film Rita, Sue and Bob too 👍🏻 |

Imagine a studio exec trying to pitch that film nowadays?

I’ve known a number of women that use the word slutty for themselves. |

My other half would tell me she's my "own personal slut". It seemed to empower her and was a clear sign she was feeling horny. I think if I'd called her my own personal slag, she'd have broken my nose!  |

Can men be slags or sluts?"
I’ll tell you from a mans point of view (sorry, I know you’re only trying to engage with women for some reason 🙄).
One is a childish extremely derogatory term that only a very few distasteful people would use, the other can be considered as a term of endearment in a kink environment. I find the question a little odd to be fair as it’s very very rare to hear of a woman (or a man for that matter) referring to themselves as slags..
Some might disagree but it’s just my opinion 🤷🏻♂️ |

"I think slag is always derogatory but slut in the right context isn’t."
Agreed. Grey and I are both Dom(me)... in the dungeon either one of us might use it when talking to a submissive bloke (me) or woman (both of us), with their prior consent, of course!
Slag is a nasty word, but not in a good way.

I don't like the term slag, it gives Kat Slatter and Albert Square vibes.
The term slut I love, I use it to describe myself fairly often and my Dom will occasionally call me it while degrading me. I adore it in the context of a loving, long term trusting dynamic.
Personally being so in love with someone I'm prepared to be their slut is magical to me. |

"I think that both are derogatory terms that are offensive and deserve no place in a liberal world."
I dunno, I think "slut" largely depends on context and the people involved.
If a women wants to declare herself a slut then, y'know, fine - own it. Good for you!
I can't speak for all men, but I'd personally steer clear of calling a woman a slut, except maybe as part of a mutually agreed kink thing. Even then, I'm not sure I can pull it off. I find the "dirty porn talk" thing a bit affected and comical and can't really take it seriously.
"Slag" is just a bit grim and outdated, isn't it? Plus, I think Viz ruined it as a term. |

We find slag slut whore etc all quite degrading and that’s not our thing. I hold my wife in high regard and find her with multiple guys empowering. Her behaviour is slutty, we both know and like that however not into the name calling.

Sluts will sleep with anyone, slags will sleep with anyone but you was how I had it explained to me way back when , which probably says more about the explainer than the actual meanings.
Slag just seems a general term of abuse these days for anyone. |

I'd like to think ghat progress has been made with subverting the negarive connotations of slut to more sex positive ones. But that comes from my more liberal mindset.
And given the opportunity I'd apply it to myself, specifically relating to how much i enjoy creating and receiving pleasure. - i just surrender to it.
However i know that from a traditional perspective it is a very loaded word, and misogynistic, so as much as I'd like it to have a new meaning it's pretty hard to push this from my male perspective.
Slag is even further along on the pejorative continuum.
Jesus. Too many big words for a Friday afternoon, soz! |
