Slut is a term for a woman or girl who is considered to have loose sexual morals or who is sexually promiscuous. It is generally used as an insult, sexual slur or offensive term of disparagement (slut shaming). It originally meant "a dirty, slovenly woman", and is only rarely used to refer to men, generally requiring clarification by use of the terms male slut or man whore.
The first recorded use of the word was in Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales. He says, "Why is thy lord so sluttish, I thee pray, And is of power better clothes to bey." He is referring to the man's untidy appearance. The word has also been used to refer to dust bunnies, which were called "slut bunnies". There have been attempts to reclaim the word for girls and women, and some individuals embrace the title as a source of pride.
Etymology, common usages and synonyms
The common denotative meanings are a sexually promiscuous woman, or "an immoral or dissolute woman; prostitute." These definitions identify a slut as a person of low character—a person who lacks the ability or chooses not to exercise a power of discernment to order their affairs, similar to terms used for men, such as a cad, rake, womanizer, stud, player, male slut or man whore. The adjective slutty carries a similar connotation, but can be applied both to people and to clothing and accessories, such as Halloween costumes. The lack of a comparably popular term for men highlights the double standard in societal expectations between males and females.
The band was founded in 1994 by Christian Neuburger (vocals, guitar), Matthias Neuburger (drums), Rainer Schaller (guitar), Gerd Rosenacker (bass guitar) and Phillip Zhang the accompanying keyboard artist. After they recorded their first album, Rene Arbeithuber (keyboard, vocals, guitar) also joined.
From 1997 to 1998, along with Rene and Rainer's band, 'Pelzig', they lived and recorded in a castle near Ingolstadt.
In 2002, two of their singles charted on the DAC: Easy to Love got to No.8, and Time Is Not A Remedy hit No.18.
In 2005, Slut represented Bavaria in the Bundesvision Song Contest 2005, with the song "Why Pourquoi (I Think I Like You)", placing 12th with 17 points.
So far they have not appeared live in Britain or the USA, despite several extensive European tours to Romania, The Czech Republic, Italy and France.
The Seattle Streetcar—South Lake Union Line is a 1.3-mile (2.1km)streetcar line, covering a total 2.6-mile (4.2km) route, connecting the South Lake Union neighborhood to Downtown Seattle, Washington. Service began on December 12, 2007. It is one of two lines in the developing Seattle Streetcar system. The line was built by the Seattle Department of Transportation and is owned by the City of Seattle, but the line is operated and maintained under contract by King County Metro.
History
The Seattle Electric Railway and Power Company laid streetcar tracks on Westlake Avenue, along which the present service primarily runs, in 1890. In April 1941, the Seattle Municipal Street Railway converted its last two streetcar routes - 19 Eighth Avenue Northwest and 21 Phinney Avenue - to buses (now numbered 28 and 5, respectively); both used Westlake Avenue to reach the Fremont Bridge from downtown.
Restoration of rail service on Westlake Avenue was originally envisioned by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen to help improve the South Lake Union neighborhood, in which his venture capital company, Vulcan Inc., is heavily invested. Allen's main supporter from the beginning was Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels, but he was not universally supported by the Seattle City Council, which was concerned about the lack of public support for the line and questioned if it should be moved ahead of Seattle's other transportation needs.

More About "It's Not About Fear":
A nervous Lena goes over to James' for a date. There, while cooking dinner, the two flirt lightly, and James considers reaching for her hand... Until he feels something over his shoulder. The now familiar presence of a dark creature waiting in the shadows. His confidence cracked a little, he goes over to the end of the room and turns on the light, a temporary fix to make it go away before Lena notices.
While they are having dinner, Lena goes on the offense again and a simple touching of his leg triggers another appearance by the creature. Feeling himself succomb to panic, James makes up an excuse to leave the room.
The creature follows him into the kitchen, where he starts to hyperventilate and lose grounding. Lena, aware that something is going on, comes to find him, dispelling the creature's oppressive presence. As she comforts him, he blurts out that something is "Always there", and points towards the creature. Unphased, Lena takes him back into the living room, where she points to another creature lurking in the shadows and says "There's mine".
Reassured, James attempts to explain the traumatic event that happened to him, but as it proves too distressing for him, Lena stops him and suggests they just calm down together for the rest of the evening. We leave them as they eat ice cream together, smiling, with both monsters lurking over their shoulders, not as threatening as they once were.
