Why I've already changed the name of my NYC-centric newsletter vertical.
Ha ha ha! It never once occurred to me that 'filthy' would read in a way you didn't intend. Anyone who knows the city knows that it really is pretty filthy (except for Hudson Yards, which is more like an Oz annex than a real city.)
I rationalized this, but it was bugging me too much.
What is a substack "vertical?"
A sub-newsletter.
It probably says something about how much I trust you as a writer that the other connotations did not even occur to me. Maybe I'm just very innocent 😇
Part of me wishes I had the chutzpah to stick with the original! PS Thank you. <3
Yes, keep the name in a drawer for when you *do* create an erotic newsletter.
I probably would have been disappointed that the other one wasn’t…
Although I don’t see sex as filthy, online the word is linked to sex for me.
I don't think sex is filthy, but I think there are connotations that I would rather not have this particular newsletter associated with.
I'm a professional name developer and brand consultant, and this hits so many points I talk about with my clients. Thanks for your candor!
Thanks!

"Fillthy but Fine " sounds like you're a hooker on Prozac.
