Note that we did NOT say “How to Tell If You Are a Slut” but that we said “How to Tell If You Act Like A Slut.” Here are the definitions of the word “slut” from the standard dictionary of the American English language:

slut \"sl€t\ noun [ME slutte] (15c)

1 chiefly Brit : a slovenly woman

2 a : a promiscuous woman; esp : prostitute

b : a saucy girl : minx

slut•tish \"sl€-tish\ adjective

slut•tish•ly adverb

slut•tish•ness noun

slut•ty \"sl€-tÈ\ adjective

Now, the standard definition of the word “slut,” which is the definition we use, found in the above dictionary entry is:

A PROMISCUOUS WOMAN

Here are the definitions for the word “PROMISCUOUS”:

pro•mis•cu•ous \pr€-"mis-ky€-w€s\ adjective [L promiscuus, fr. pro- forth + miscÈre to mix — more at pro-, mix] (1603)

1 : composed of all sorts of persons or things

2 : not restricted to one class, sort, or person : indiscriminate <education. . . cheapened through the promiscuous distribution of diplomas — Norman Cousins>

3 : not restricted to one sexual partner

4 : casual, irregular <promiscuous eating habits>

pro•mis•cu•ous•ly adverb

pro•mis•cu•ous•ness noun

Note that:

DEFINITION 3 IS THE STANDARD DEFINITION.

THE FOLLOWING DOES NOT REPRESENT A COMPLETE DESCRIPTION OF THE DECENCY STANDARD.

HOW TO TELL IF YOU ACT LIKE A SLUT

You act like a slut if:

You wear provocative dress.

“Provocative” means “arousing indecent desire.” Now, because some do not have common sense, we add the following:

Provocative dress is any form of dress that reveals more than:

The lower legs below the knees, the arms below the armpits, the neck part of the torso, and the head, in any physical posture and any angle(s) of public perception. In addition, clothing that simulates absence of clothing is NOT considered clothing; for example, skintight clothing is NOT considered clothing.

Now, because some can’t read, here is a schematic that, at least, partially explains proper dress:
