They said "NO SLUFFING" with no other context or anything other than just one of the rules, so no clues to help me figure out what they meant.
Even still I think it is a stupid term for skipping/ditching class.

I dislike that as well. I correct my kids on that. I tell them to leave the poor hobo alone.

Just curious why that one is horrible? Does it mean something else outside Utah?

I usually roll my eyes at "only in Utah" comments but this one really may be

98.6% sure it is Utah only. If not, probably only a few parts of Idaho would

My favorite CBism: people who think anything they see in Utah is a Utah thing.

Extend it to anything a Mormon does is just a Mormon thing

We used to say that as kids growing up in California in the 80s/90s

Same in Washington. I think it's anywhere people have trampolines, really.

Yup, we said that too with our trampoline in SoCal, 70s-80s
