Undo the effect of "sloped" option in tikzstyle

Question

I have defined (for example) :
tikzstyle{text_st} =[thick, red, sloped]

Later on, I want to use these option for node text like
\path (a) -- (b) node[text_st] {Nice}

Now, if I want to use this predefined option text_st except for the sloped, how can I do that? Is there some variable like unsloped such that I can do
\path (a) -- (b) node[text_st, unsloped] {Nice}?

sloped=false. Using sloped issues sloped=true (which issues \pgfslopedattimetrue). — Qrrbrbirlbel, Dec 03 '13 at 16:02

@DurgaDatta did sloped=false resolve your problem? What is the status of this question? — Paul Gessler, Feb 24 '14 at 05:22
@PaulGessler Answer these viciously :) This one I did it myself. — percusse, Mar 14 '14 at 18:56

The manual could have been better here but this is actually a boolean setting key. It sets the TeX conditional \ifpgfslopedattime

Hence when you have a style, you can turn the sloped effect off with setting it to false

\documentstyle[tikz]{standalone}

\tikzset{text_st/.style={thick, red, sloped}}

\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}[every node/.style={text_st,draw}]
%....
\path (a) -- (b) node[text_st,sloped=false] {Nice};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}
