Must have been a Shiny(R)(TM) slur because I have no idea which one is phonetically similar to that word. Also would prefer not to know. Thank you.

I can think of a couple. Spoilers, idk if the slur filter will catch it i haven't ever heard a real person say it.

It may have been "removed"

Yeah, i don't think the slur filter got it. Idk where i've even heard it but i suspect it was an old-timey book from like the 19th century. Oh, nope, slur filter got it after all. /shrug. Idk the correct way to discuss a particular slur on hexbear.
