i had to add an explanation because all the definitions i’ve seen here are inaccurate. broad refers to the distance between the v-g-n- lips of the human female. when the distance becomes wider than normal due to wear and tear, high mileage and rough use a woman becomes a broad. a broad is not necessarily a sl-t because all the wear and tear may have come from one man but a sl-t is always a broad.
