I'm installing a glbutt window with brbutt fittings. Or is that style too pbutte?
Admin
Come on now, tell the truth... we all know you were really looking for "Shaved Kittens 29".
Admin
That's not as bad as the Consbreastution of the United States of America.
Admin
Sense of sight, sense of smell, fashion sense, sense of direction, sense of pride, etc. So yes, there are multiple types of sense.
Admin
Yes, and Dick is a nickname for Richard, a cock is a male chicken, and a pussy is a synonym for cat. You have a problem with homophones?
Admin
Me? Absolutely not! And I enjoy watching the tits in my garden...
Admin
I did that search and found some newsgroup-regurgitator web site that 'censored' the post. The coup de grace, though, was the ad on the side (next to one for a pyramid scheme) saying that Israel shoots babies and decrying US "military buttistance".
In other news, it's too bad that nobody ever screws up the regex so it goes the other way. "Now add half a stick of asser..."
Admin
< and > are good things.
so is \b
Admin
I couldn't work it out. Even with the post immediately after highlighting the exact problem.
http://blog.deckmonster.com/archives/192-I-learned-a-new-non-word-today....html
That TOLD me the answer.
It is along the lines of "Hi, I'm Virginia from Scunthorpe" not being allowed language on various chat boards.
s/ass/butt/g
Sheesh.
Nice one for the morning, got me thinking at least.

Sometimes it's difficult to tell whether it's a joke...
Admin
Stupid buttwipes! Buttfornicators! The list goes on...
Admin
Lawyers are such ssemen-sucking leeches. They never do enough rectalysis of the issues before coming to a conclusion.
Fornicate!
Admin
I see what you did there, but let's be honest - no one uses buttembly language any more...its so old i feel like its from the jurbuttic period
Admin
Speaking of word filters, Supreme Commander wouldn't let me have "spike" as a nickname. No idea why.
Admin
Maybe they were picking up "spik" as a racial slur. I don't think that's even spelled correctly, but you never know.
Admin
This is a clbutty thread.
Admin
well, way to rain on our parade. Just know that this wouldn't be as funny if it weren't American, cause finding replacements for "arse" would be very spbutt. So spbutt, in fact, I had to use my fbutteing mental abilities (the internets) to find a word that works.
I'll gladly pbutt on the arse, butt. :P
Admin
What killed NeXTs was their sky-high prices. The cheapest model available was a grayscale machine which was US $3000 in 1990.
Admin
Seconded.
The motion is put to the House...
Admin
Yes, but to make fun of them would amount to nothing more than than character buttbuttination.
Admin
You know it took me a while to figure out what clbuttic meant. It wasn't until I though, huh, what is another word for butt? Though to be politically correcty, it should be "The Cldonkeyic Mistake" So as not to offend anyone with the word 'butt'.
Admin
http://www.google.com/search?q=Cldonkeyic
Admin
What The Fuck? Why does the site need to be renamed? Everyone knows WTF stands for "Worse Than Failure."
Admin
WOW! Thanks Sherlock! So you think this was automated? I just thought it was someone manually keying in C L B U T T I C because they just couldn't get themselves to type in A S S.
Admin
Apparently, China is worried about trademarks of clbuttic breastles
http://www.jucee.org/China/What-did-the-British-Embbutty-do-for-this-British-National-Overseas-pbuttport-holder.html
"If foreign companies put inappropriate content into games using the breastles of the Chinese clbuttics, it could have serious bad influence on young people. The protection of the intellectual properties of these Chinese clbuttics relates to our traditional culture and the education of our children," he added.
Admin
Admin
I can only assume that the compiler of some Chinese-English dictionary had his left hand off by one key when typing that translation...

Admin
And now if you google clbuttic thedailywtf.com is the second hit.
Admin
I did something very, very similar to this when I just started developing and had been introduced to my first search+replace method.
I wrote everything saying 'we this, we that'... and when the circumstances changed and I was working on the site alone.... search for 'we' replace with 'I'... let's just say, because it was a website I was working on... it was now an Ibsite. And many other such stupid things.
I was tempted to search+replace back, but was smart enough to realize that would cause even more problems.

Classic story.. really classic.
Admin
A friend told me of a New Zealand forum where the admin got sick of people using 'ass' instead of 'arse', so he wrote a script.
It was all well good, until they started talking about Assassins.
Admin
Ok, but can we all agree that "Jesus entered Jerusalem riding on a butt" is an improvement on the original?
Admin
So this one took us some time to figure out. On the same page as the ever amusing "loveual harbuttment" we found repeated, and unwarrented, use of "liquidate".
So what were they talking about? For example: "in several instances eve-teasing has been followed by more violent buttaults such as rape and liquidate" http://www.plex86.org/computer_2/No-nudes-Playboy-alters-look-for-India.html
It took a thesaurus, but liquidate == murder. ......wtf
Admin
Yes, but by saying it... he also proved it to be true.
Admin
Hmm ...buttumptions.... 926 Google hits Webster : no luck
...someone care to explain? ....
Admin
Three pages of comments and nobody mentioned another classic search and replace mishap: the "Encyclopedia Magica", a 4-volume compilation of magical items from various Advanced Dungeons & Dragons sources, published by TSR in its last delusions of grandeur.
The terminological oscillation between calling the main spellcasting character class of AD&D "wizard" or "mage" had been decisively resolved by the editors of the Encyclopedia Magica: throughout the four large volumes all those annoying characters became "wizards", and all magical effects caused "dawizard". Hidden mages were also purged from the much fewer "iwizards" and similar words.
We can safely assume that the reputation of TSR was slightly dawizarded...
Admin
I'd like to see it on the cover of National Geographic
Admin
I once got banned from IRC for mentioning that a friend of mine lives in Scunthorpe.
http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=scunthorpe
Chortle.

Not quite the same thing, but what about:

Admin
I can just see the QA process on this one. More disturbingly, I can see myself five years ago, performing the QA on this one.
[me@localhost /]$ echo ass | ~/scripts/replace_butt.pl butt [me@localhost /]
"Success!"
[me@localhost /] lpd < ~/invoices/parser_invoice_$2k.rtf
(Don't point out my sh mistakes, I don't use lunix day-to-day)
Admin
I don't know what they have against donkeys and such other animals. Now if the original word had included 'arse', then I can see that action was required.
Admin
lol

"Nottingham is a fine city with a fascinating history. It's well documented in official records that the city's original name was 'Snottingham', or 'Home of Snots', but when the Normans came, they couldn't pronounce the letter 'S', so decreed the town be called 'Nottingham' or the 'Home of Notts'. It's easy to understand why this change was resisted so fiercely by the people of Scunthorpe."
Admin
It just goes to show you that the grbutt is greener on the other side of the fence.

This online game once implemented a bleeping out policy for any word that was mildly negative. Not just expletives but words like 'evil' and 'kill'. Warrior was ***rior, and jewels became ***els (is it offensive that they find that word offensive?). Like most of these systems, it ended up drawing attention to every semi-swear that was typed, some of which were obscure enough to warrant looking up.
It could have been a joke, because the patch with this feature appeared near April 1st, and was reverted less than a week later. What's amazing is that the entire game is written in horribly broken english, but the localization team managed to get a list of hundreds of '***' words down.
Admin
Hmm.... Reminds me of the famous incident in the town of Scunthorpe, England, when the town council's email system suddenly started rejecting every single email, after the installation of a new spam filter.
Admin
My son's 2007 Yankees calendar talked about the "African American armband" that all the players wore in remembrance of Thurman Munson.
Admin
The first time I saw "clbuttic", I thought it was something to do with culbute, which is French for "tumble" or "somersault", or culbuter, which is French for "to have sex with"... Anyhow, "cul" is French for "ass", so maybe that should be "buttbute" and "buttbuter" :)
