"Uh, no."

For some reason, it's strangely awkward to say the word "slut" at the Zeitgeist.

Happily, I always think of this place as "gear-slootz" -- since it was a German radio journalist I used to work with who turned me on to the place and, well, you know, she didn't 'get it' that the suffix was actually "sluts" (a word she well knew, from covering the Americn pop culture beat).

That said, whenever someone says "Hey, fellow slutz..." I get a little tweaky twinge...
