There can never be enough S.L.U.T.S in the world, so I think that it is fantastic that you have come up with a club for that.
Next you will be hanging around on street corners, exposing your Rolex's, enticing others to become S.L.U.T.S.

Power to the S.L.U.T.S.

i think it would be 'double you eye ess" only because its a general rule of thumbs when dealing w/ computers that 3 letters are pronounced seperate but 4+ you say them as a word.... for example "CPU" is "see pee you" and "SATA" would be "say tuh"

Steve, I would more accurately be considered a "wannabe" limey. Born a Yank, grew up in Hawaii, moved to Las Vegas. I have long been a fan of silly British Humor. Shows I grew up on include Monty Python, Are you being served, Faulty Towers or whatever was on PBS.

The S.L.U.T.S. board of directors has decided to grant you honorary membership into our fraternity. Invite sent. Let me know what title you desire and it will be so.

GHA, Upon review, we the parties at S.L.U.T.S. have granted you the title of: Primary Investigator Managing Parties or P.I.M.P. Invite sent.

Thanks for the well thought out explanation. It makes sense.

Apologies to Art for overlooking a clearly obvious question that should have been asked.

By the way, Is it O.K. to wear your Rolex while performing your S.L.U.T. duties, such as climbing up trees?

Chris....I am honored to be considered as the official Primary Investigator Managing Parties or P.I.M.P. I am off to the mall to look for a oversized pink felt hat with a huge feather on it, along with a long "technicolor" overcoat. I guess that I will also have to secure a new, oversized, diamond enclustered "bling" Rollie to go with the new title.

Absolutely okay, Chris. Any character marks can be removed at time of next service, if you so desire.

No, no, no! As the 4th Stupid Limie (I still don't know what a Limie is, but like the fact that I can misspell words without getting flammed), WIS is not as in hiss but as in piss! As in after much beer.

Let's get it right and lay it to rest!

Definition of a Limey from wikipedia.com

Limey is an old American and Canadian slang nickname for the British, originally referring to British sailors. The term is believed to derive from lime juicer, referring to the Royal Navy and Merchant Navy practice of supplying lime juice to British sailors to prevent scurvy. The benefits of citrus juice were well known at the time thanks to the acute observations of surgeon James Lind who noticed that the cabbage-eating Dutch had fewer problems with scurvy. Limes were used over lemons due to limes being more readily available from Britain's own Caribbean colonies. The term is thought to have originated in the Caribbean in the 1880s. A false etymology is that it is a derivative of "Corr-blimey" ("God blind me!").

As a side note: Membership to The "TRF Club for Stupid Limeys" or S.L.U.T.S., is open to all members, no matter what nation they post from.

Chris, I read that on Wiki also, but you can't believe everything you read on the internet!

I thought we were Limes because that is what should be put down the throat of a Corona!

Stupid, because that's what we enjoy being!

Now we are talking!

I love a Corona with lime. I plan to start enjoying that more when winter comes. Its too hard for me to drink during the 110 degree summers here.
