How it's used
This is a highly derogatory and offensive term used to shame women for their perceived sexual behavior. It relies on a crude physical metaphor that implies a lack of moral restraint. Because of its sexist and aggressive nature, it is considered extremely rude and should be avoided in polite or professional settings.
Examples
She is very promiscuous and many guys know her.
Don't hang out with that promiscuous woman.

Common phrases

Common mistake
Learners often mistake this for a literal description of a physical action, but it is strictly a slur used to attack a woman's character. Using it will almost certainly cause offense or lead to a confrontation.
