Slag is a derogatory slang term used in the United Kingdom, Ireland and Australia to describe a woman of loose morals who "sleeps around". Deriving from the term as used for the ugly piles (slag heaps) of impurities during the smelting of metals the term achieved a wider use with the comic strip "The Fat Slags" in Viz magazine.
