Seen on Twitter: What's "a Slut"?

Based on a brief skim of the many (MANY) tweets that include the term--excluding all mention of Miley Cyrus, I might add--here is my short list, in no particular order, of what "slut" means to twitter-users.

Blue-eyed Girl: “Remember that time Surfer Dude called to break-up with me and we weren’t even dating?”

Me: “Umm. . . .YES, didn’t his girlfriend call you or something?” I start to giggle.

Blue-eyed Girl: “Yeah, or something.”
