Slag is an insulting, racist term used by Humans to describe Tenctonese.

I went to Mammoth Cave last summer. Big Mike's is a souvenir shop down the road.
I bought a giant piece of green slag and another tan one for my science classroom.
They have 1000s of pieces in all colors and sizes out on tables and such.

I haven't been through this whole thread, but uh... "slag" means something quite ummmmm, rude in our country. :biggrin2:
It can mean the same here, but since I'm a science teacher, I am sticking with the scientific meaning. :)

That is so freakin' cool down there:cool2:!
I use to make it a point to stay at a nice little motel in Horse Cave, when I had time travelling through (I made time), you know, to explore the whole groovy area, that and do some kick butt fishin' in the Green River.
There are so many magical like places, and it's so very rich with truly fascinating history:encouragement:
