How it's used
This term carries a strong negative moral judgment and is often used to criticize someone's lifestyle or character. While it can refer to sexual promiscuity, it is also frequently used to describe someone who is indiscriminate in their social circles, implying they lack standards or self-respect in their choice of company.
Examples
They are very promiscuous and change partners all the time.
Do you know if they are usually very promiscuous?

Common mistake
Avoid using this word to describe someone who is simply outgoing or has many friends, as it specifically implies a lack of discernment or moral looseness. Using it casually to describe a social butterfly will sound like a serious personal insult.
