Young people these days only use the word "slut" in dirty talk, such that calling someone a slut in polite company is now unacceptable. The sluts stole the word for themselves. Great job, sluts! (aussie.zone)

It's also jusy wrong. People still call women sluts as an insult.

I can't speak for the younger generation but as a millennial it's used as both for sure.

Greeting a friend with "hey slut" is fine. Saying that to a stranger would likely not be.
