Babble filter based on Merriam-Webster's classification as always or mostly or usually obscene, vulgar, etc. The thing with p*ms is only partly a glitch. Apparently, the app can't distinguish between our word for the things cheerleaders use and P*mmy or P*ms, which was supposed to be usually disparaging to English immigrants. Well, at least 100 years ago it was.

But, I 've always let our Babblers from Oz and NZ weigh in there as we Americans generally know zero of the origins of (or truth about) this possible ethnic slur.
You have always been able to attach f*ck and other vulgarities to another word to get around the auto-asterisking :-) Usually done on purpose in my experience, but not always. Dr. Bob used to ask that we please manually insert the asterisk in those cases. So, now you are a naughty poster, fb ;-) I could give you an UN-official, UN-serious, UN-important PBC as an ex-deputy, if you like :-) An exercise in meaningless toothlessness..or something. (Whoa, I am rambling)
Good Lord, I am a true fount of minutia and useless information!!
