    The word or string “ass” may be replaced by “butt”, resulting in “clbuttic” for “classic”, “clbuttroom” for “classroom”, “buttignment” for “assignment”, and “buttbuttinate” for “assassinate”.

    This is seriously one of the funniest things I’ve ever read. Like gosh, I’d recommend everyone give that article a full read. I couldn’t even get mad at the stupidity. I’m bookmarking this to read again when I have a bad day.

      Can also do this with random buzzwords, like the “cloud to butt” extension, or force to horse

    I see this all the time in Elden Ring. So many players want the word “Knight” in their name but it just ends up rendering as “K***ht”. Also the substring “ho” comes up a lot and is censored.

      Two or three services blacklisted something in my username, Lyra Lycan. To this day I never found out what, why or which language

      I mean if using UTF-8 a single “character” can be twice the size of that. Depending on what counts as a character it can be even bigger. There’s no way this wouldn’t go **rribly wrong.

    In October 2004, it was reported that the Horniman Museum in London was failing to receive some of its email because filters mistakenly treated its name as a version of the words horny man.

    There are a lot of gems in the article.

  Where I live, there used to be an Officer Gay in our police. He retired a while ago, but just imagine the possibilities. There was graffiti. Soo much graffiti.

  Like, this was a legitimate word, once, used for names and such.

  This reminds me of the recent removal of the Enola Gay in US government history archives because LGBT+ is DEI.

  Forgetting that gay not only has multiple meanings, but only predominately referred to homosexuality in the 1980s.

  I remember looking it up as a kid. 1970s era dictionaries did not include the present definition.

  A lot of events like this not this one but a lot boil down to English centrism like that Shiitake issue or the Quebec website who went by the acronym cum.

    I’ve seen USians complaining about our word for black people, ignoring that calling someone black (like the color) used to be as offensive to us as the N word is to them, while our equivalent to the N word was the non-racist option. Older people who haven’t caught up with recent trends might still find referring to people as black offensive.
