Ride the SLUT

Take the SLUT to dinner and a movie:

A new tram system in Seattle has inspired cult T-shirts after locals claimed its initials originally spelt 'SLUT'.

Developers deny it was never [sic] going to be called the South Lake Union Trolleycar - but the damage has been done... Officially, it's now called the South Lake Union Streetcar and developers Vulcan insist the SLUT rumours are an urban myth.

But hundreds of T-shirts, with the logo 'Ride the SLUT', are being made and are selling fast at local coffee shops.

Jerry Johnson, 29, said the T-shirts were done just for fun, but the first 100 sold out in days and now orders for the next 100 are underway. "We're welcoming the SLUT into the neighbourhood," he said.

If you wish to go all the way downtown, you'll have to climb off the SLUT and onto the TRAMp.
