Can someone explain to me the origins of:

"Oh gently caress!"

Just curious!

Thanks,

Amanda

I believe the world filter for unregistered users swaps fuck out for "gently caress."

Jak is true. And if you post 'gently caress' on the forums you get made fun of because no one actually says it.

No one except Danielle Steele.

Also, doesn't SA have a number of creative filters like that?

A tonne of them, yeah. I read the forums for 1/2 a year before I got myself an account (thanks, Idran!). The best had to be "rear end in a top hat." Either that or "loved tenderly."

I think at one point I actually saw a listing of their censored words, though I could not even begin to tell you where to find it today. Of other note, however, is that "japanese" comes out as, I believe, "moon language."
"You haven't told me what I'm looking for."
"Anything that might be of interest to Slitscan. Which is to say, anything that might be of interest to Slitscan's audience. Which is best visualized as a vicious, lazy, profoundly ignorant, perpetually hungry organism craving the warm god-flesh of the anointed. Personally I like to imagine something the size of a baby hippo, the color of a week-old boiled potato, that lives by itself, in the dark, in a double-wide on the outskirts of Topeka. It's covered with eyes and it sweats constantly. The sweat runs into those eyes and makes them sting. It has no mouth, Laney, no genitals, and can only express its mute extremes of murderous rage and infantile desire by changing the channels on a universal remote. Or by voting in presidential elections."
