Carol responds:
Does "Sliznort" have the same ridiculous sound in Russian as it does in English? Maybe they were just going for comic effect. I suppose they're stuck with "Sliz Club" for "Slug Club." They ought to use the Russian word for "slug" instead--the same one they used for "Eat slugs!" in CoS.
Carol, who obviously doesn't know the Russian word for "club"
