Thread: Seattle LOL

  1. Default Seattle LOL

    A new trolley line in Seattle has residents buzzing about its supposedly salacious name.

    Officially, the new line along the downtown waterfront is the South Lake Union Streetcar, but that's only after its first name, the South Lake Union Trolley, or SLUT, was changed, locals told the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
    Vulcan, the developer of the former Cascade neighborhood, said that the SLUT acronym is just an urban legend, but it seems here to stay, the paper reports.

    "We're welcoming the SLUT into the neighborhood," Jerry Johnson, 29, a part-time barista at Kapow! Coffee house told the Post-Intelligencer. The local haunt already has sold out its first run of "Ride the SLUT" T-shirts.

    Gregg Hirakawa, a spokesman for the Seattle Department of Transportation, told the paper the term "streetcar" was selected because it sounded more modern than "trolley."

    The first cars were to be unveiled Tuesday and the line should be up and running in December, the paper said.

    I saw this article earlier. Quite humorous. Maybe OKC can get a train system and call it the TRAMP. You definitely don't hear this everyday, "We are glad to have the SLUT in our neighborhood."
