Oh, geeze. The progressive transparency effect on the words towards the "obscure" end of their spectrum made the later pages impossible for me to read.
I suspect the entire list was produced by an AI entity which had not been prompted to avoid giving offense. I predict a range of (tedious) opinions about whether a prohibition on that particular word is an appropriate inclusion in a system prompt.
That's also not a term I've - thankfully! - ever heard, so I've no idea if it's hallucinated. This is not an invitation, HN, to define or explain it to me.
You should implement an option (e.g. [checkbox] "Urban Dictionary Entries") that doesn't censor these words. Understandable that the default criteria doesn't include this, but language construction shouldn't be removed of offendables).
Just as an example: some people find the word "jerry-rigged" to be racist, as it previously replaced "nig___-rigged". Same with "rule of thumb" (due to origins in caning people). There could be no Huckleberry Finn written in a world without pottylanguage.
Who defines the boundaries of acceptable language? I'm not advocating for ebonics classes, but a language's entire purpose is to be useful, to convey information (including hatred).
