Words with Friends has denied other mildly off-color words for me. It's a little prudish.
I checked their word list, and it's on there, but they say they don't allow offensive words. I know it was blocking something else for me I was sure was a word, and I guess that was it too.
Hmph. Words with friends does not know their etymology very well, because slut only came to mean a promiscuous woman fiarly recently.
For centuries, it meant a slovenly woman, usually in a housekeeping or an appearance contest. That's why an old term for dust bunnies is "slut's wool."

Okay, if I finish processing these checks, I can go lie down and watch hockey. And, you know, have the money from the checks. C'mon motivation, this is the only thing I've asked of you all day. And I already broke the task up into smaller chunks and rewarded with ice cream halfway through.
Hmm. Now that I look at that, I see perhaps there was a small flaw in my motivational strategy.
