"We're welcoming the SLUT into the neighborhood,"
Seattle Trolley Line Has Acronym SLUT

New Seattle Trolley Line Has Acronym SLUT;
It Stands for South Lake Union Trolley

Officially it's the South Lake Union Streetcar. Within the
old Cascade neighborhood, part of the area to be served
by the new line, it's popularly known as the
South Lake Union Trolley or SLUT.

At Kapow! Coffee, 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.

Trolley tracks have been laid from downtown along
Westlake Avenue to Lake Union and project officials
say the $50.5 million project should be completed
and streetcars running in December

14. Eek!
You mentioned the "c" word!

Actually, as a Brit, it doesn't shock me. I have learned that in America the word is used very differently to how we use it, and that on DU it is considered extremely offensive.

:hi:
