Hey gang,
Anyone knows why is it called a slug? I don't see any association with slug (aka snail) here.
Not that it would be incredibly important. Client asked me. I explained the functionality a told 'em it is our dirty programming slang.
Why is the URL component called a SLUG? (2 posts)

Huh. I have no idea, actually. I've always thought of it as like a "slug" in terms of a bullet.
Internally, it's called post-name. But that is confusing with the post title.
It's been slug for at least 4 years, when Matt added it to the code:
