Self respect is having dignity and morals. To make choices that make you happy. It isn't about sex or nudity.
'That Rebecca needs to get some self respect, she's such a slag.'
'Actually, she's really happy and she hasn't done anything to upset anyone. She has a lot of self respect.'

The nicest way possible to call a girl a "Bitch." Instead of using a very "sexist" or insulting term in the eyes of women you call them respectable women. Using this term is a way to induce sarcasm so you don't get shamed on for calling a woman a "bitch."
Julie: Oh my god she's such a bitch.
Freddie: She does seem like a respectable woman.
Derrick: Yo I'm sick and tired of these respectable women. They keep fucking with my feelings.

: a proper respect for oneself as a human being
: regard for one's own standing or position
“You think because he doesn't love you that you are worthless. You think that because he doesn't want you anymore that he is right -- that his judgement and opinion of you are correct. If he throws you out, then you are garbage. You think he belongs to you because you want to belong to him. Don't. It's a bad word, 'belong.' Especially when you put it with somebody you love. Love shouldn't be like that. Did you ever see the way the clouds love a mountain? They circle all around it; sometimes you can't even see the mountain for the clouds. But you know what? You go up top and what do you see? His head. The clouds never cover the head. His head pokes through, beacuse the clouds let him; they don't wrap him up. They let him keep his head up high, free, with nothing to hide him or bind him. You can't own a human being. You can't lose what you don't own. Suppose you did own him. Could you really love somebody who was absolutely nobody without you? You really want somebody like that? Somebody who falls apart when you walk out the door? You don't, do you? And neither does he. You're turning over your whole life to him. Your whole life, girl. And if it means so little to you that you can just give it away, hand it to him, then why should it mean any more to him? He can't value you more than you value yourself.”

Alternative name for "wife beater" t-shirt. Used most often in progressive communities like the Bay Area in Northern California.
Sarah's boyfriend was going to wear a deep-v t-shirt when he went down to the wine bar to drink some white wine, but since it was hot outside, he decided to wear a partner respecter instead.
Having consideration upon entering a room where a person is engaged in watching tv.....
Jimmy, upon entering the family room where Alex is watching tv: "Alex, did you finish that homework?"
Alex (annoyed at being interrupted while watching Lost): "Dad! Respect the tv, huh?"

A term reflecting a positive commendation for a person, action or item worthy of supreme accolade.
One might use this term if one bumps into James Brown on the dancefloor of your local nitespot: "nuff respect".
Alternatively, if your mate manages to pull Kylie: "nuff respect".
