Please don't be offended by my curiosity about the word in q
I have encountered an enigmatic expression in a Watch What Happens episode in Top Chef, where intelligent Gail Simons says,
I’m the real slut, is what she’s trying to say (laughing).
I couldn't figure out the meaning of "slut" in this sentence. I'll give you just a little bit of background. During that episode, Gail is not the focus, but Padma Lakshmi is. The host is saying, like, that Padma wears a wide variety of clothes every time she appears in the show. Hearing that, Padma starts saying, chuckling, "Actually, Gail...". Then Gail interrupts her with that sentence.
The meaning I have known seems to be totally inappropriate. Then I found a dictionary definition that might fit into the situation.
> Informal. a person with a seemingly insatiable but often undiscerning desire to do or have something specified: guilty of being a shoe slut | a book slut, reading five books at once.
Then, the original sentence probably seems to mean that she has a seemingly insatiable desire to have lots of clothes. But, I am not sure because I only see, in the dictionary entry, the word with attributive adjectives that might explain the meaning of "slut". "real" in that sentence does not seem to be what specifies the meaning of the word.
What do you think about this? (I ask you who may correct my writing ^^;)

This is fine but Q for question isn't very commonly used slang.

Generally you don't make a quote its own paragraph unless it's a really long quote.

The period is always inside the quotation marks when using double quotation marks.
"rReal" in that sentence does not seem to be what specifies the meaning of the word.
The first letter in a sentence is always capitalized, even if it's in a quote.

Feedback
It's hard to say without knowing exactly what Padma Lakshmi said, I think it is possible she met it in the sense of being a clothing slut. It definitely sounds like she was being self deprecating and using the word in a reclaimed way. It was definitely not being used in the traditional derogatory sense. Sometimes women when goofing around will throw around words like 'slut' in a non-serious way and I definitely think that's what's happening here. Though I'm not sure if she meant 'clothing slut' or just a slut in general.
If you're interested in learning more you can search 'reclaiming slut shaming words.' There's a lot of debate on it.

Now I see that "uestion." has been cut off. I don't know why.

Oh that would do it, haha. Using Q for 'question' is real slang though, just not used a lot.
