I had the same question and also read it as trough, or like nipples on a sow. It's very accurate and in my observation there are a lot of good insights to be gleaned from the implications, such as how central the money flows are, and how much social energy can be amplified or suppressed based on perceptions of how difficult it is for a slotless aspirant to displace someone in a slot.
