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."
