Wetherspoons in England started naming their pubs with peculiar names, many different ones that all escape me at the moment. My favourite name for a pub is the New Gog in Custom  House London. It was originally called the Gog and Magog but Adolf didn't like the bitter so he flattened it. The New Gog arose from the ashes

A slug is like a snail without the shell.  A lettuce is 'pak salad'... but we have different (and nicer) kinds than Thailand.  They're perfectly good words, not slang.  Happy birthday, Freshy!

OK. Just for fun.
A slug is a bullet fired from a gun--usually a handgun.
To hit someone--maybe a suckerpunch.
Now this one (in America) is slang--A slug of something. Means a lot of something.
Hmmmmmmmmm. None of these seem to apply to a Thai restaurant.
