I just can't see "skank" ever as a positive or endearing thing, no matter from whom, or how its used. Maybe because it is simply one of those words that has always grated on my nerves.
"Slut" I would be a bit more offended about, I think. To me a slut is someone who just has sex for the sex of sex, regardless of consequences. No thought, just action. A whore does it for money; which I don't think is a bad thing all the time. Hell, sometimes whores are more honest about it then sluts.
But that is just *my* definition, others may differ.
(There is nothing wrong with someone who enjoys sex, or offers it freely, but is not without thought and responsbility.)
