Answer 1

Sleeps around.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Promiscuous


Like the lady at the patent office.
I went to the Patent Office to register some of my inventions.

I went to the main desk to sign in and the lady at the desk had a form that had to be filled out. She wrote down my personal info and then asked me what I had invented.

I said, "A folding bottle."

She said, "Okay, what do you call it?"

I said "A Fottle."

"What else do you have?"she asked me.

I said "A folding carton."

"And what do you call it?"

I said "A Farton."

She snickered and said, "Those are silly names for products! And one of them sounds kind of crude."

I was so upset by her comment that I grabbed the form and left the office without even telling her about my folding bucket.


Yours: grumpy

Answer 2

The word promiscuous is intended to describe a person who lacks certain standards in selecting sexual partners. But this definition can be kind of confusing. It implies that sexual activity is something negative and excessive. Some people think that being sexually active with many partners makes someone promiscuous, others think that unmarried people who have any kind of sex play with a partner are promiscuous. Other people feel the word should not be used at all because it is a value judgment of someone's personal business. There isn't one answer about what promiscuity is. Most often when the word is used, it doesn't really help us understand what is being talked about.

Deciding to have sex and deciding how many times we want it and how many sex partners we want is a personal decision. However, teens who are having sex need to make decisions about protection. Female or latex condoms can prevent pregnancy and reduce the risk of transmitting sexually transmitted infections.

Answer 3

"Promiscuous," in layman's slang, means someone who sleeps around, basically. Wikipedia explains it thus:

Promiscuity is the practice of making relatively casual and indiscriminate choices. The term is most commonly applied to sexual behaviour, where it refers to sexual intercourse that is not in the framework of a long term monogamous sexual relationship. People who are called "promiscuous", within the scope of this usage, may actually be quite selective in their choice of sexual partners. Nonetheless, because of the popularity of this usage, the remainder of this article discusses sexual promiscuity.

Answer 4

Promiscuous means you're having more sex than the person who calls you that.

Answer 5

1 : composed of all sorts of persons or things
2 : not restricted to one class, sort, or person : INDISCRIMINATE
3 : not restricted to one sexual partner
4 : CASUAL, IRREGULAR

If you're asking because of the song I would say they are probably using it in the sense of definition #2 or #3.

Most people think of #3 when they hear or use the word.

Answer 9

It means you have no control over your sexual behaviour....You flirt dangerously and take it to the next level...low self esteem..etc. etc. I find it hard to believe that you spelled that correctly without looking in the dictionary but did not know the meaning..

Answer 10

It means you don't dress sexy enough, so shorten those skirts and wear lower necklines, and you say no too many times when asked for "Some"!
