So what exactly are the differences between a skank and slut? I think we have covered the whore vs slut differences already… Oh, while we are talking definitions here, a friend of mine distinguishes a slut from a bitch as the following: A slut will sleep with anyone, a bitch will sleep with anyone but YOU… ---

I’ve always thought a skank was like a slut but with bad personal hygiene. **934spe** the Slut Lab is just down the hall to the left. Look for the red door. ---

[QUOTE=rayh] The light is for whores, come on man, you not heard of “red light districts”? [/QUOTE] Off topic here, but an amusing story if you don’t mind. When I was about 7 years old, I went with my parents to see my aunt’s new house. She is a Catholic nun, and she and three others Sisters had just moved into a new home. And there was a really funny joke that I never got and no one explained to me. They had just literally moved in that day and we got there that evening. So we all walked to the front of the house and my aunt turned on the front porch light. And everyone giggled, except for me, of course. It had a red bulb (or a red globe, whatever) in it. On a convent, basically. It was many many years before I understood. ---

[QUOTE=velvetjones] I’ve always thought a skank was like a slut but with bad personal hygiene. [/QUOTE] That fits with the context of the first time I heard “skank”. Or rather, “skanky”, as in “skanky beer farts” 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/apparently-im-a-slut/373581.md?page=5)
