    Calling someone a derogatory term has never been acceptable in polite company. It doesn’t really make sense.

        I can’t speak for the younger generation but as a millennial it’s used as both for sure.

        Greeting a friend with “hey slut” is fine. Saying that to a stranger would likely not be.
