City Dept. of Hilarious Acronyms

By now, you’ve undoubtedly heard about the South Lake Union Trolley—or SLUT—which has gained a bizarre following and spawned a line of “Ride the SLUT” t-shirts. But wait, there’s more:
To offset all the new construction and growing number of residents in the area, King County is sponsoring a program to help the now heavily traveled South Lake Union area mesh with Seattle’s green-hippie-whatever image.
The South Lake Union in Motion program, or SLUM, provides incentives for South Lake Union residents to walk, bike or take the SLUT to work.
Keep Seattle green.
SLUM it on the SLUT.
Thanks to Slog tipper Andrew.
Are you sure they didn't hire a bunch of frat boys to run these programs?
What about the SCAT?

Not only SCAT, but let's not forget that thousands of Chicagoans take LSD to get to work every day.
I went to a school in Japan called "tit": Tokyo Institute of Technology.
And North Seattle Community College
Official t-shirts
NOSE COCO
At the risk of appearing humorless, the whole SLUT thing (which was NEVER the real name of the program) was worth a chuckle when the T-shirts came out, but has long run its course.
And the rest of these weren't funny to begin with.
Nice work on the zany acronym desk, Jonah. You're like the second coming of Jean Godden.
"South Lake Union in Motion program"
Wouldn't that be "SLUMP it on the SLUT" ?
