find with unrelated model

I am trying to create a validation function where I check the
User.slug field against a tables of banned words
So if a user tries to use a slug "profile" it will come back invalid
I have Restrictions table with all banned words which is not related
to any model on the site.
How do I do a query from the users model to check restrictions table?
Tried App::Import('Model', 'Restriction'); method but all i get is
error -> Trying to get property of non-object

$result = ClassRegistry::init('Restriction')->find('all', array('conditions'
=>array('Restriction.badword' =>$wordtotest)));
