Lighten up man, it's the holiday season. A time of joy, fellowship, merriment and celebration. We spend time bonding, caring, brotherly love and kindness.
Don't make me slap you. 😛

'Slut' is pronounced in Swedish a bit like as 'u' in 'used'.

Thanks, lolof, for your thoughtful reply. Yes, I did understand your meaning at the time and, then, linked your "the end in Swedish" to my ".... in English, gb. lol" suggesting that for whatever the reasons few reply to his posts so threads die young.
