Words banned from Google's "What do you love" project

Anticipating internet malfeasance, Google banned a number of dirty and dirtyish words from wdyl.com ("What do you love"). Here's the full list, as discovered and documented at fffffat by Jamie Dubs. (Thanks, Barbara Rella!)

72

  2. They ban booooobs and booooooobs, but not boooooobs.

    Which is so funny because I totally love boooooobs. 

  3. “penetration” was my very first attempt, and that worked.

    “Explore penetration in 3D”

  6. “my wife” also fair game, but I wouldn’t recommend it. They need to enable safe image search on that thing. *shudder*

    1. So that’s why kids stopped learning to spell properly! It was all part of a well-coordinated, far-reaching revolutionary conspiracy to counteract the word-police.

      I am humbeld :)

      1. Every time one of my kids misspells something on Facebook I make sure to correct them publicly in the most annoying way possible.

  9. Well, it seems tha God (line 212) is also banned along with “twats” and “jap”…
    an odd list indeed.

  11. I love companies that hire tens of thousands of engineers, make them sell viagra and discount vacations, and tell me what I can’t love.

  13. Entering “Willy Nelson” brings up kittens. as does the remainder of the banned word list. More proof that the Internet was built for the glorification of felines.

  14. You forgot to mention the best part of all this: when you type in a banned word you get sent to wdyl page for kittens, with a pretty rainbow background.

  15. Farts. Farts earn the Google-love. Not boobs. War earns the Google-love, but not boobs. Torture earns the Google-love, but not boobs.

    That said, Google does a very lovely thing to you if you type ‘******’ into http://www.wdyl.com/ – It replaces ‘******’ with ‘kittens.’ Well-played, Google, well-played, indeed.

    PS: Not for nothin’, but I heart BoingBoing. Thank you, all of you, for making me smarter and more kitten-aware.

  19. There’s some unexpected gems in that list (bunny fucker?), but what’s going on with w00se?  What in the hell is that?  Elite speak for… ???

  20. Man, I started doing the same thing as the rest of you and the voice of Alec Guinness reminded me, “Remember what you did with the dictionary in 2nd grade.” And I went, “Awww, man, this is lame.” But then I remembered how I laughed back then. So I did it anyway. And it was like “ha ha pretty good”.

    Eh, well, you had to be there.

  24. “p0rn” and “pron” are on there, “pr0n” is not.

    “goatse” is on there, “tub****” and “two gi[….]” are not. :/

    “twunt” is on there, “slunt” is not. (Who uses “twunt”?!)

    “pube”, “skank”, “rectum” are on there, their plurals are not. (Probably lots more plurals are missing.)

    “fellate” and “fellatio” are on there, “fellating” is not.

    “doosh” and “duche” are on there, “douche” is not.

  26. narcissists rejoice, “Myself” is good:

    “Measure popularity of myself on the web”
    “I love myself”
    “Plan a date with myself”

  28. penises, testicles, vulvas, vaginas
    You’re all set so long as you love plural genitals.
    Now I’m wondering what is the plural of “clitoris.” Also, the gerund form of “cunnilingus.”

    1. according to wikipedia : clitorises or clitorides (both you can love) also masturbate is not to be loved however masturbation is A-OK !

      btw Dick Cheney’s not while Bush can be explored in 3D

  31. So there are Seven Dirty Words You Can’t Say On Television (or at least there used to be), but there are 453 Dirty Words You Can’t Use in Google’s Weird Little Project?

    Seems rather parochial and overly conservative, if you ask me.  Especially when you consider half the words in that list can be found in a decent (indecent?) dictionary.

  33. I know of services offered by a certain mouse-based company that have such trouble maintaining a blacklist of forbidden words that they now limit posts to a whitelist of approved words.

    But even a whitelist is powerless to stop people combining perfectly innocent words in not very innocent ways.  For instance, see “sweater puppies” above.  I’m sure the we happy mutants can come up with plenty more…

  34. I was offered a chance to “scour the earth for scat”, which I declined. Also: “measure popularity of meatflaps on the web” and “organize a debate about schlongs”.

  37. “Fooker” is my favorite.  Take that, northen England.  That list could be the source of an epic George Carlin routine.

  42. I don’t see why Google would do this.  As I understand it, wdyl is just an enhanced search tool.  Sure, immature people will type “naughty” words into this the same way people type these words into Google’s main search tool, or the same way kids used to look up naughty words in the dictionary.  So what?

    People use google only as much as they trust google to provide them the information they are searching for.  If google steps up and shows they deliberately put hidden filters in this search tool, that they deliberately misdirect certain searches, how does that impact my trust of google to get me the information I want in other contexts?

    Seriously, I don’t see how this helps google at all.  It just seems like a bad business decision.

  43. “Fapping” is also ok! The “interest over time” graph for this word is kind of fascinating. What triggered the single spike in interest in the period of June 5-11, 2011?

  44. yuri is good, as is rules 34 and 63. as is rape. as is sexy funteims. so is Hitler. they didn’t do very well did they?

  49. So, you can love “murder”,  “war”, “islamo-fascism”, “race hatred”, “nazis”, “lynching” and “rape” but you can’t love “consensual sex”.  That is pretty well fucked. 

  53. Anonymous stole my password list… Oh wait… That is nothing like any of my passwords, really it isn’t. Trust me, there is no need to check.

  55. You can still say phalli, but they’ll make you call fellatio “a trouser friendly kiss.”

    But if you find yourself with some young sexy thing, you’ll have to do her with your ding-a-ling!

    They’ll make you take a tinkle when you want to take a piss.

    Make a joke about your bowels and they’ll order in the troops. Any baby with a brain can tell you everybody poops.

    Enough of this, just watch the video of words you can’t say:

  56. So I happen to love precum. So I can see precum in 3D with Sketchit? I can email someone about precum? I don’t get the point of this WDYL site.

  57. Why yes, you can find c*mdumps near you and even plan your own! http://www.wdyl.com/#cumdumps  LOL! They didn’t think this list through have they? Gotta go, need to explore the topic in 3d! Eww!
