Younger kid asks me about the word "slut" (thank you, Game Grumps)
Usually I don't have a problem with this. If it's a sex act or something, I can explain that just fine.
But "slut" is a really complicated concept! There's layers to it. And sexist, sex-negative concepts to explain.
I went with "it's someone who likes sex, which is most adult people, so it's mostly just that they're making a joke. Also don't say the word at school."
