Ride the S.L.U.T.

SLUT -- Streetcar's unfortunate acronym seems here to stay
Seattle PI, 9/19/2007

That aside, the story that the neighborhood's streetcar line now under construction was called the South Lake Union Trolley until the powers that be realized the unfortunate acronym -- SLUT -- seems here to stay.

Officially, it's now the South Lake Union Streetcar. But the trolley name already has caught on, and in the old Cascade neighborhood in South Lake Union, they're waiting for the SLUT.

Jerry Johnson, foreground, and Don Clifton model the "Ride the S.L.U.T." T-shirts they created to poke fun at the original acronym of the South Lake Union Streetcar. The shirts are sold at the Kapow! coffee shop in the neighborhood. At the Kapow! Coffee house on Harrison Street, they're selling T-shirts that read "Ride the SLUT." (read)
