..........Friday Funny: "Ride the S.L.U.T."
Wait, don't leave the site! I'm not trying to be crude. This was reported on CNN this week.
Officially, it's the South Lake Union Streetcar. But in the Seattle, Washington 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.
