The assholes that called Jess DeWahls a “transphobic ugly little kraut slag”. (I don’t even know what “slag” means.) At least they didn’t have the gall to state the fact that DeWahls wasn’t a man. Now that would have been hate speech (by their own standards).
Never mind, cynical comment on my part, proceed right along.

GW, slag = woman who looks cheap, is of questionable character, and sleeps around. TDL sounds like one of the UK’s finest. Racist, misogynistic, angry, prone to violence. Can’t argue – it’s the attitude that built an empire.

Slag = deadname of male triceratops Transformer, now goes by Slug (because a toyline primarily sold in the States/Japan needs to be sensitive to UK slang)

Wow, really? That’s wild. My primary association for the word “slag” is waste material from metal refining, something I learned in high school materials science class. I didn’t realize until this discussion that there was an alternative definition. It’s a very appropriate name for a Transformer using the definition I learned.

Adding to Rob, above, it actually fits well with TRAs when so much of their “interaction” with women is just slagging them off.

I am coming to like Jess DeWahls more & more.
‘Slag’ is a contraction of ‘slut’ and ‘hag.’
You know, someone with two X chromosomes who doesn’t obey.
