Still don't understand why it is 'out of bounds'. Anyone (male or female) who has pre-marital or extra-marital sex is a slut. Many people make amends later in life. But at that point they're a slut.
But then; Rush has himself; almost. Can only say; 'hang on Rush'; and we will too.
If she wants her name pronounced differently; then she should change the spelling; legally. Of course; she would have to pay for it. . .
Yours is an almost archaic definition of the word, 'slut'.
Simply having pre-marital sex doesn't qualify anyone for 'slut' status in the minds of most people. You'd have to go back 150 years for that to be the common agreement.
Today, a slut is (always) a woman of extremely loose sexual mores. The type who 'sleeps around' with anyone she so chooses, and any time she so chooses. Basically, a whore. Not someone who loses their virginity to their high school or college sweetheart.
The reason people are so upset about what Rush said, is because the term carries such a negative connotation today.
