| Should I Call it the S.L.U.T.? |
Monday, September 24th, 2007
We all know B.A.R.T.! No, not Bart Simpson, the Bay Area Rapid Transit of San Francisco. Now we have a new transit nickname, S.L.U.T., which stands for South Lake Union trolley. “People can call it whatever they want as long as they ride it,” said Mayor Greg Nickels of Seattle. The new trolley system cost nearly $50 million that connects from South Lake to downtown Seattle. According to interviewers on NBC affiliate KING-TV, they said that the nickname came from crew and workers of the trolley system.
And at a local coffee shop located near the trolley are selling T-Shirts saying to “Ride the S.L.U.T.” which have been going by the thousands. Only if I can get one for my good friend Jenn, I know that she’ll find it hilarious!
