Seggs, unalive, grape

I've also seen people use peach for porn. Why are advertisers such puritans?

I guess not too different from pr0n, h4x, etc. Maybe a tale as old as time?

[-] AlolanYoda@mander.xyz 4 points 1 day ago

True, I guess. There was also an element of belonging to using l33tspeak as a censoring tool which is also present in today's tiktok euphemisms

Looks to me like it's pronounced weed.

It's a content filter evasion for "weed". Trips me up every time one of my online friends uses it, I go "IUD? No that doesn't make sense. Ood from Doctor Who? Nah. Some kinda French thing? Oh yeah it's weed"

Weed was my first guess ,but I know Americans can’t pronounce written French for shit so I knew I was wrong lol. Thank you.
