It's quite a stretch to get anything filthy out of "Interface Slot." Maybe if Freud attacked your brain and caused the "I" and "o" to switch up. But that sounds nearly German.
Unless your problem stems from the word "slot" itself, in which case there's all sorts of fodder in game aside from the "Interface Slot." In that case, the mere act of enhancing a character with extra slots might cause you to blush.
And if your problem is the word "Interface" you're just hopeless.

Intercourse Slot? :O
Could only find a one sentence urbandictionary entry that could make "Interface" a dirty meaning. That was after looking everywhere for a few minutes though.
Unless you're trying to say "in her face", which is really stupid.

It's better than having a discussion about how much you like the CoX Interface.

It'd be something like the Putcraftedsuperenhancementofvarioususedynamiclocat ionthing slot. If they used English words for it, for some strange reason.
(But really... yeah, "Interface slot" just doesn't do anything for me. Heck, two of my friends are engaged - to each other, even! - and even as not-shy as they can be, it gets not even a titter from them.)

I'd say that Onterface sounds similar to Unterfläche. Provided the latter is spoken in a dialect that uses the softer "ch" pronunciation.

Okay, guess it might be just me getting this, then.
It's not that I can't push the thought out of my mind (Arachnoids got to it first, BTW, so that shouldn't be too hard). It's just that I tend to converse with friends via Ventrilo while gaming, and a handful of the regulars are female, have multiple Incarnates, and occasionally discuss Incarnate slots in Vent.
I guess if I do hear a female voice start talking about her "interface slot," I could simply bump the SFX volume up a notch and dive into a mob of Council. The gunfire punctuated by my own character's attacks is usually enough to drown out a Vent conversation, even on lower SFX volumes.
Plus, the best synonym for "interface" I could find on thesaurus.com was "interaction." Which, after comparing semantics versus the way the slot is used ingame, is actually a better fit.

Or you could, I dunno, invite one of them to a private discussion about incarnate slots after dinner or a movie or something.

I used to fiddle with my back feet music for a black onyx. My entire room absorbed every echo. The music was . . . thud like. The music was . . . thud like. I usually played such things as rough-neck and thug. Opaque melodies that would bug most people. Music from the other side of the fence.
