Oooh, look! Lots of words you can use instead of one that is also a racial slur!

[Chainsaw Rebuild]

The filter clearly needs adjusting.

Why does the site even have a language filter?

Lots of companies have proxies that will stop content with swear filters / lots of skin colours in it. Now it's over HTTPS it probably won't be real-time but the filtering product will spider PH and assign it a category which may be blocked.

Keeps it more safe for work in case your boss sees too

Which is fine and entirely valid, but is a perfectly legitimate normal word.

[Second Best]

Unlike “pissflaps”, which is entirely acceptable

Unlike cockwomble which is also entirely acceptable
