Since when has my PG stuff been rude?

I've just tried to place a classified ad for my diary/organiser. It's called SLots, because it keeps track of time slots for you.

But apparently "slots" is a rude word according to the "posting guidelines". I'm obviously very innocent, because it isn't remotely rude in England, so I guess it's an American thing.

However, I can't place my classified even if I pretend it's mature. It's still such a naughty word I can't post my classified.

So even though it's the name of my product, I took the name out of the classified - but it STILL won't accept it (presumably because there are things with such a shocking word on the parcel).

Any way round this? Can I post a complimentary copy (through the *slot* in my local postbox!) of a dictionary to a Linden so they know what the word means?

P.S. I've just done a Google search to see if there is a rude meaning for "slot" and I can't find anything. If anyone would like to warp my fragile little mind by enlightening me on what's naughty about it, I'd be very intrigued to know!

It might be that LL considers Slots to be a gambling term. They aren't very bright, collectively.

"Slots" is one of the unspeakable words that is completely blocked from search.

Ah, good point Brenda!

I changed the description of the parcel, then placed the ad, then changed the description back again - that worked!

Dammit! Looks like I chose the wrong name for my product then :(

I'll have to call it "Loli pedo gambling HUD" instead.
