Can't make this stuff up, folks.... from http://CNN.com --

SEATTLE, Washington (AP) -- -- Officially, it's the South Lake Union Streetcar. But in the neighborhood where the new line runs, it's called the South Lake Union Trolley -- or, the SLUT.

At Kapow! Coffee, a shop in the old Cascade neighborhood, 100 T-shirts bearing the words "Ride the SLUT" sold out in days, and another 100 are on order.

"We're welcoming the SLUT into the neighborhood," said Jerry Johnson, 29, a part-time barista.

Some claim -- incorrectly, according to representatives of Vulcan Inc., the company that is developing the area -- that South Lake Union Trolley was the original name and that it was changed when officials belatedly realized the acronym.

I would never refer to a street car as a slut. The term is gender specific with no term of equal measure on the male end.

... heh... I said "Male End".

Historically, the male equivilent of a "slut" was a "rake".    See, for example:

http://en.wikipedia.or...

Sadly, the term has fallen out of use.  It had quite similar connotations in its day.

I still use rake.

I also use the Australian usage of "bike".

Which means the same thing.

Jibbitz are these little button thingies that go in the holes of Crocs - those shoes that no adult should be seen wearing.

The woman who created it named it after the nickname her husband used for her "Flibberty-Jibbit".

I know I am already going to be doomed.......I 'll go on a date and my date will tell her friends "We had a lovely dinner at Daniel's Broiler and then we took the new Trolley into town"   and of course my version to my buddies will be "I had dinner with my date at Daneils Broiler then I took the Slut to town"     and then word will get back to her that I callled her a Slut and end of that relationship.

My boss is the President of the South Lake Union CoC. She heard yesterday that Major Nickels wanted it called the South Lake Union Modern Streetcar. Nice.

My co-worker got her Ride the Slut shirt today. Supposedly her boyfriend got the last one (It was big Laina). I'm sure they'll make more. I definitely want one!
