Rude name? edit

The article mentions that Slartibartfast's name is supposed to sound rude, but gives no explanation as to how it could be considered rude. I myself don't see what might be at all offensive about it. How is his name supposed to sound offensive? --Bando26 (talk) 06:32, 19 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

  • My guess would be that it almost, but not quite, includes the words "barf" and "fart," giving it an offensive tone without actually using any rude words outright. Beeblebrox (talk) 17:53, 19 March 2009 (UTC)Reply
  • Its almost, but not quite, ‘shit-fart fart blast.’ It’s a miss-spelled spoonerism. Slart is almost shart (a cross between a shit and a fart) and bart fast is fart b(L)ast with the l missing.
