Finding a good a domain name is a big task – there’s not only making the list of choices, but then hoping that one of them is available. Sometimes a search could result in what would appear to be a prime domain being available; but there may be a reason – perhaps it’s a “slurl”.

The term slurl was coined by a British software developer, Andy Geldman and is a combination of two words – slur and URL.
