For completeness sake there’s Low Saxon “Slunt”, note the n, meaning “rag” as well as “disorderly, dirty person”. If you want to use it call a woman promiscuous have the decency to use the diminutive. Not related to German “Schlund”, gullet, that’d be Slunk. I can’t find any proper etymology but my guess would be that English lost the “n” at some point.
Funnier are words like Gröönhöker. That’s the same roots as “green” and “hooker” but it’s not what you think, it’s someone who can hook you up with the green stuff, a greengrocer. Or the perfectly cromulent toponym Quickborn meaning “lively spring”.
