looks similar to something I did
Not a fan of the racial slur for people of east asian descent in the default 4 letter dictionary, should probably edit that ๐ฌ
Here's to assuming you pulled a random dictionary file from the internet ๐ฅ
What's the word? I started looking but realized I have better things to do. Before I stopped I did find "nips" and "chow", both of which have completely unrelated, normal meanings. Hell, I didn't even know "chow" could mean anything other than food until I read the definition in the dictionary file.
There are several other racist, sexist, and generally rude words in there too. There is even a slur which has been used against me, and it's defined as such (one meaning among many), but I say leave them. Well, maybe "cunt" could go without being missed.

There is a disclaimer for this in the repo, and the rules as well. However, I appreciate the feedback.
I missed that when reading the repo, thank you for the reply.
I'll look into the source for that file in my distro and bark up that tree instead. ๐
For what it's worth, I'm Asian and I had no idea that this was a derogatory word towards Asians and it doesn't bother me.
