Slutty = Dirty (no comments please)

Been doing a bit of research about tripe and discovered that "Black tripe" which is the abomasum, one of the cows "stomachs" (get's easily dislocated in dairy cows after calving and will lead to death without an operation) was known locally as "Slut" from the Lanky word slutty meaning dirty...
