    Männliche Schlampe

    Sources
    Für die Frau sagt man auf englisch "slut" oder "bitch". Frage an die Native Speaker unter Euch: Gibt es ein spezielles Wort für eine männliche Schlampe?
    Comment
    Keine Sorge. Ich werde das Wort einer Person gegenüber AUF KEINEN FALL anwenden. Das wäre unhöflich!! Nur, wir hatten heute im Büro eine Diskussion darüber, ob in Englisch bei Schimpfwörtern nach Geschlecht unterschieden wird.
    Danke im voraus.

    At least in AE, you can certainly call a man a slut as well. It gets a bit more complicated with "bitch," though., ;-)

    P.S.: other options would be:
    horndog
    whore (jokingly, of course)
    stud
    whoremonger
    satyr
    etc.

    Yes, you can say it! But dude is right (yes, dude, I will kindly allow you to be right, if that is alright with you ;-) ) - you could get into trouble if you use "bitch" to refer to a man. This would have homosexual overtones, to say the least.

    @Mary: thank you kindly. :-) But more than "homosexual overtones," bitch used toward a straight man or in a straight environment has very demeaning qualities.

    @Helmi(e): an "s.o.b" can be a lot of things, not just a slut. :-)

    Well, so are whores, dude :-) Can a male be "trash(y)" ?

    "man whore" is also a phrase people throw around a lot these days.

    i also feel that you can call a guy a "bitch" but it has less of a sexual/promiscuous connotation, and it means more like, mean and catty in a feminine way

    finally, if you call a man "trashy" or "trash" it sounds to me like more of a class-based insult than anything. this is also probably true for women, but with women "trashy" also has a pretty clear nuance of "slutty" as well

    @Carly: If you were to go to West Hollywood, for instance, you'd find all kinds of trashy little (male) sluts in varying degrees of masculinity (or femininity, depending). :-)

    @dude, :-))) I was only in Hollywood once, and that was about 28 years ago - guess I was too busy keeping a hopeful eye out for STARS, to notice whether any trashy males were around :-)

    I heard this a few times watching Seinfeld. Maybe not "official" English, but still quite fitting in my opinion.
