I did the same but for some activation codes. I used a dictionary of swear words to keep it clean but still got interesting results. Had to make sure the word Jew did not appear as that came up in a phrase that would have not been well received!
- Digit-Al 5y agoI had almost exactly the same situation happen. I had to produce activation codes just before Christmas. I was on my break, chilling at home when I got a text message asking if they could email me the bit of script so I could change it to remove the vowels. I complied and when I got back to the office after Christmas asked why. Turns out that when you generate over a million random letter sequences some of them are rather fruity words. In fact my original code was being referred to as "the random f*k generator" lol
- wiml 5y agoMy solution to this was to pull down some lists of swear words and then forbid every single digraph that appeared on the lists. It eliminated something like 25% of the randomly generated tokens, but the ones that passed this check were pretty reliably un-wordlike.
- hiccuphippo 5y agoYou don't really need the vowels. I remember a windows license key that started with FCKGW.
- aidenn0 5y agoRandom fact about that word: The scrabble dictionary has a redacted and unredacted version. "jew" is one of the redacted words because scrabble disallows proper nouns, so the remaining usage (as a verb) is offensive.
- ComputerGuru 5y agoVerb or adjective?

- ComputerGuru 5y agoThanks for explaining. Transitives never occur to me.
